Smiles & Smirks

Thank you, Katerina, Martha, Carien, for providing all this food-for-smiles!

I am amazed! I ordered them yesterday and here they are. As I was busy and did not get soon enough to the door, my postman signed it for me.

Mr.Martha  hope the the contents were what your ordered!

Good point, I have not opened it yet. Yes! two sheets of 25 stamps, in elegant Wood Brown.

The Mr was my mistake.

Hope you got a discount?  

So Kevin is not only your postman but also your secretary :-) (and one of our favourite postmen :-) )

Yes Heleen, Kev is a super postman, so friendly.

No, Michael, no discount!

In that case I shalll be buyin g my stamps in the normal way - in dribs and drabs when I feel flush!  

Here comes Ali Khat:

Thank you, Martha, so true, so true!

Great fun, great foldi!

...more from Mike in Rockford, Illinois:

BREAKING NEWS! The Spring 2023 Coffee Clutch is here!

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Yep, the Coffee Clutch arrived here too,

lots of fun :-)

Thanks for the April fools jokes.    Some ATC's here from the archive.

Thank you for the jokes Katerina and Michael. I learned something, Poisson d'Avril, I had never heard this expression.

And here is The Clutch Supplement. Double click to enlarge, I think...

I don't see the "Anti-Gravity Bidet" in your supplement?   Hopefully it will return in the future months?

Haha, I LOVE the dishwasher!

Thank you Sabrina and, Michael, a new model of the Anti-Gravity Bidet is on order.

Order this one as well Martha - the Fish Finger Glockenspiel !

This one is definitely a smile: a "Cat on Tablecloth" card from Mail Art Martha. It was accompanied by the "Marpril" issue, "Foldi22", and an Easter greeting note.

Don't worry, Martha, I received your mail in time for Easter. I'm just slow!

Stand your ground comics from Michael Goetz! Fun!

Franny Wahinehae invite us to have a Depinking, the novel treatment to enjoy exclusively at Walmarth! Thank you Franny for making fun of Barbie. Well done, I hate the anorexic doll. I prefer plump teddy bears, any colour but pink.

In these times of concern for the disposal of rubbish we should consider recycling our unwanted stuff, here is a list of items we could sell easily through the Sell and Buy Department at Walmarth, recently organized by the well known firm A1 Waste Papers Co Ltd.

Thanks Martha - also for the nice mail that arrived recently.  Always good to hear from you!   BTW   card printed by me and Mark Pawson in 2004.

Oh! so that  is a vintage card, even more precious!

Yes, nearly 20 years ago but seems like last week to me!  Ha ha!

Breaking news! The latest Art trend in Cascadia! One of the oldest and more traditional artforms, Sand Sculpting, mocks Technology!

Happy New Year 2024!

I received my copy of the Winter Solstice 2023 - Foldi 26 issue, with greetings for the new year. Thank you, Mail Art Martha, and I hope that this will be an art filled year for each one of you!

Thank you Fleur for posting here.

A slide show of Rudi Rubberoid works. RIP.  He was very funny and generous with his rubber stamps and letters etc. Much missed.  Slide show doesn't seem to have worked. nevermind - heres a photo instead-

Unfortunately I never had any contact with Rudi Rubberoid, so thank you for posting these stamps, Michael.

I can't remember how I became one of his contacts now.  Quite serendipitous isn't it how we made up our address lists!  The slide show does actually work ( for me anyhow!?)  if you click on the icon in top left hand corner of comment.

It does for me also and very good it is! Thank you Michael

Great - thanks Martha.  Acouple of new doodles -

Wow! You are not short of imagination!

Such inventive is absolutely beyond me, much admiration!

I cannot claim full responsibility - some of these images were inspired by drawings in the Sci-Fi Encyclopedia that I have, although I have changed them slightly.  "Leap"  is totally mine - off the top of my head. A new collage from my sketchbook -

Katerina! Michael! You two have shamed me, i haven't managed a single funny to add. Besides yours are so very good, I would never match them! Thank you !
