BANANAS

Hello! Happy Banana Day!

a "ticket" stamp by Anna Banana on Cascadia ArtPost collection.

Thank you for your great mails, Katerina! And yes, in February there's a lot of celebrations, among them Banana Day!

Belated Happy Banana Day! (by the way, your all-February-important-days-mail arrived in time, even for the New YotPig, on 5 February)

An other proof of the fact that every day can be a Banana Day.

Banana Phone Call Day :-)

Thank you, FinnBadger!

Even if a banana dreams to be an apple :-)

It's still a happy banana!

Thank you, Heleen!

On instagram there is this banana art maker:

I think I've mentioned it here, before, but the reason to mention his account again now, is that there is an interview with the maker and meanwhile you can see the making of some banana art :-)

From Mary Anne in the UK

It has arrived! From Heleen in Amstelveen:

Heleen's envelope is FAB, too!

flip side of Heleen's envelope...

turquoise BANANA washi tape,

with garlic? onion?

and lots of bananas :-)

I have an idea, garlic and onion flavoured banana ice cream, any one?

Some very good bits of sketching all over Mary Ann's work and the washed out collage is great.

I just had to join this group after seeing chat comments for it. It reminded me that Ive got some banana shaped postage stamps from tonga in a stamp album i started years ago as a teen.

Found this just now while looking for something else. Must try it.

Banana and oatmeal cookies.

You just need two bananas, a cup of oats and dried fruit to taste. Mix all the ingredients, add a little maple syrup, then form into balls and bake at 180C for 15 minutes. They are especially good with yoghurt and lift me up on dull days. Says Viviana, Italy

I will use honey instead of maple syrup as I got none.

Thanks for posting this , Martha! I too will use honey as there is no real maple syrup here. It sounds delicious with Greek yogurt!

Banana mail from Heleen :-)
