    Yes, i have a "thing" for libraries! My Partner and i go "library-Hopping" to check out different libraries in CT. I am an inter-library loan Junkie also, 2nd would be the postal service! I'm also a Radio Geek!

  • De Villo Sloan

    Nancy, I'm glad you received and like your Elgin Shroud shred. I would be flattered if you blogged it. The Elgin Shroud is for the world. And D-Kollectibles is still taking orders.

  • Nadine Wendell-Mojica

    It's Ms Alicia. Ain't she cute?? Those were the days. We truly thought they'd never end.

  • Rosa Gravino

  • Svenja Wahl

    Nancy, wow! I'm on my way to a weekend trip, but I just wanted to let you know that I stood before the mailbox and whispered (like a children) "wooooooow"  - I love this book cover, I lovelovelove it!! Many thanks, many thanks, many thanks! ;-))

  • Svenja Wahl

    Nancy, will send a quick thank-you-book-cover your way tomorrow! I'm so happy with the one you sent me!! 

  • David Stafford

    Thanks, Nancy! I thought you'd appreciate that essay from a self of long ago.. My time is limited these days so I have to sort of improvise things.

     

  • Svenja Wahl

    It's one of the parts of mail art I really love, that things who are falling apart and are worthless to most people are turned into something truly beautiful and highly valued by someone and sometimes by many people. Like Rays sunglasses I sent to DK, the buttons were in a box for years and years, it was either throwing them away or sending them away... who would have thought how much fun we would have with them? 

  • Dean aka Artist in Seine

    Happy to hear that the post office HANDled it well.  Gloves off to them!

  • BarnArt

    Love your old book covers - they are nostalgic and great. I love the smell they have too! What a great treat to receive in the mail before the Thanksgiving holiday. I loved it, thank you. Can't wait to send you something in the mail soon. Stay in touch! xo

  • Guido Vermeulen

    Hi Nancy,

    don’t remember add and pass but it is possible! I do a lot of common works with SH

    G.

  • Svenja Wahl

    Hi Nancy, glad you liked the thankful Botticelli, you've really inspired (infected?) me with this book cover idea, sent out two of them yesterday, (books in danger here!).

    I found these huge stamps on a flea market last week with "DM" (Deutsche Mark) and "Pfg" (Pfennig) - no longer needed because of the Euros and Cent in use now. Sooo, it's a really straightforward day today, isn't it??

  • Svenja Wahl

    Nancy, just saw your trifold pages for Judith, they look amazing! :-))

     

  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Like yer shoes? Are they Roots? What colour are your socks?

    AND...

    .....thanks Dear Nacy for sending me a Love Letter. It's very nice indeed -- merci beaucoup.

    I'll send you something back, I hope, before the week is out.

    Liberté, Egalité et Thé!

    Regards, Val (who always wears mismatched, different coloured socks)

  • Svenja Wahl

    I have to admit that I still don't really understand how the pages will be exhibited in this drawer Judith wrote about... Maybe they are only horizontally photographed?? Anyway, your pages are much admired!!

  • Svenja Wahl

  • Guido Vermeulen

    Hi Nancy,

    You can add if you want but also consider the Fluxus is dead as a finished collaboration between SH and I.

    Guido

  • Marie Wintzer

    Nancy! My favorite floating aquatic creatures have arrived! Thank you very much, they are fantabulous!!

  • Nadine Wendell-Mojica

    YIKES! What an envelope. First, I must tell you the post card with Snow White just might be my favoite card in the entire world. It's so twisted. I love it dearly. The felt squares I do remember particularly watching Romper Room I think.The Catholic Messenger poem is actually very sweet. Too bad your postman is without humor. I wonder what he makes of your mail. You must know him where as it's pretty anonomous here.You're the bestest mail art gal!

  • Svenja Wahl

    Nancy, oh, it's late in the evening, back home after a long work day, - found your wonderful card, it is so "zauberhaft", "wunderschön", beautiful. Thank you very very much my friend!

  • Svetlana Pesetskaya

    Nancy grazie!))

  • Nadine Wendell-Mojica

    I must tell you that both my husband and I have been looking at the pickaninny card with a magnifying glass. We've discovered that one of the young boy's sweet little parts of his body is showing. Another kid has a lettace leaf covering his of course. We think she must be a 'M.K' as in Missionary's kid. Once my husband watched a soccer game between M.K's and P.K's. It was brutal. The P.K's were poor sports- HAH! By the way, Pickaninny comes from Spanish and Portuguese for paqueno and nene'. Small child. We had to look it up in the BIG Oxford dictionary. My husband is Puerto Rican with African so we were so hysterical about this gem. He accused me of never being generous enough to gift it to you and I think he's right.

  • Marie Wintzer

    Nancy! I got more mail from you, yey!! A great transparent envelope. It looks absolutely fab as it is, but I wanted to ask if it was "openable". I wouldn't want to ruin it but still feel like opening :-)) In any case, thank you, I'm so very lucky!

  • Nadine Wendell-Mojica

    So funny you priced it so destiny landed it in my hands. It sits proudly on my table. I'll have to keep watch because my kids are known to steal.

  • brunocassaglia

    Grazie ! Bruno ...

  • Marie Wintzer

    The envelope unveiled its treasures, Nancy. Wow, how wonderful, I love all of it, and your note is so heartwarming, I don't even know how to thank you.... but I'm so happy, and enchanted... :-)

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Glad the starry greetings arrived, had I known earlier, I would have put a greeting on the envelope for your postman! Well, those two cards were "experimental", so let's see how I shall continue ;-) 'Love the papers, thanks soooo much xx

  • Marie Wintzer

    How cool is that!  Kind of like the big old hotel in the Shinning - don't cha think?  What a nice memory and a great place for kids to vacation.  Great location, huge, fun!

     

    Glad you liked the card. It just felt like you.

  • Nadine Wendell-Mojica

    It's true, I've always been drawn to the twisted so my kids were doomed.

  • DKeys

    Hilarious Nancy-to weird isn't it? love Neil Young but too bad he was an ass. I have never had an IOUMA dream before but this one was vivid as well. Don't know what it means. We need Dr. Erni Freud to analyze this:)

  • prettylily

    Hi Nancy,  Received GOTIJ mail from you today, but I haven't opened it yet.  I want to scan the great envelope before I risk damaging it.  It feels good though!  :-)

  • David Stafford
