Fleur Helsingor

Thank you for the wonderful little red packet of (I'm assuming) Oakland photos!  -Jim.

Bonjour Fleur! And now for something completely different?? Yes, thanks for the latest card, and yes, it's all good: so thankyou very much.

Are you a Monty Python fan? I'm not one of those Brits who can -- some 30 or 40 years after the series ended -- quote every line of the scripts, but I do have some MP books, and they are still really funny.

I'll be mailing you something back soon.

Thanks again and regards, Val

Beautiful colors and flowers arrived in Greece today, Fleur! Thank you so much! I have it blogged:

Spring BlogJam! Flowers and fun from Fleur, Postmuse, Karen Champli...

Hi Fleur, I received your ATC's today! Wonderful surprising package :) Thank you!

I haven't photographed them yet.. but I will share them soon!

Hey, Fleur. I've just posted both of your most recent mails to my Wordpress blog. Finishing up those birds delayed me a little bit...

Best, Sandra

Fleur, your bird documentation has been posted here... Thanks for sending those photos!

Utopia! Definitely!

Dear Fleur, many thanks for the Utopia or Dystopia card. All I have to do is to get the cats to lend me their small green rubber ball, and then I can play the game. Perhaps they will join me.

Funny, but just yesyerday i was playing Bobby Vee's 'Rubber Ball' track on an LP. And now your Mail Art has come 'bouncin back to me'.

I'll mail you something back soon.

Thanks again, and wishing you a trés bon weekend,

Regards, Val

Bonjour ma petite fleur!

Thanks very much for the lil envelope and the lil packet therein and the lil 'arrange your own world' pieces therein.

Ah, if only I could (re-arrange) my world so easily. Wanna be my analyst?

I have an exhibition of my paintings here in sigean in July called 'Fleurs et Fruits'. Would you like to attend and give us all a Special Fleur Art Performance?

I'll be mailing you something back soon.

Thanks again, and Best Wishes, Val

Bonsoir Ma Petite Fleur! Thanks for the first part of your 'Fleurs et Fruits' dyptich.

The fruit has already arrived.

And now I'm very excited awaiting part 2, the fleur -- BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE YOU!

I hope that i won't be disappointed, and that you will fit in my mail box.

I'll be mailing you something back soon.

Thanks again! Val

And now, flowery Fleur, I have part 2 of your 'Fleurs et Fruits' piece. Mercy Buckets. I was sort of expecting a Real Live Fleur (Helsingor), but realise that this was now an unrealistic hope as you wouldn't have fitted in my Mail Box, alas.

But your flowery card did, for which many thanks indeed.

Something will be mailed back to you soon.

Best wishes, Val

Bonjour!

I am very sorry but I cannot comment on 'hanky-panky'.

Yours sincerely,

VMH

PS What type of hanky-panky have you in mind? ANYTHING INTERESTING??!!

Chocolate, yes please: strawberry, perhaps. Have you any Vanilla Hanky-Panky?

Val

Caramel sauce, please. Can I have a post Hanky-Panky drink , too, please? Are there any Special Weekend Offers?

Val

Thank you, flowery Fleury for the lovely lil' stickers and the booklet which I enjoyerd reading. I'm glad Josefina liked the map of Sigean. Tell her that when she comes visiting she had better wear a collar with my address on it so that she won't get lost. Does she speak French? Bianca speaks French and Persian, and Trouble speaks French and Siamese. They are, of course, much smarter than me.

I'll be mailing you something back at the weekend, Regards & thanks again, Val

THANKS for the wonderful art I received yesterday! I love the ways your photos work with the piece.  Again, more Oakland area photos?

And what a great monkey weather vane! -Jim.

Yay! I've posted your last card here. I love it the antique map image!

Hello again! Tha

Bonjour again, Fleur!

Thanks for the add'n'pass you sent me. There's some very interesting stuff there.

As I always do as I am told (ha!) I have duly added and passed.

And I'll s end you something back soon.

Hope your summer is turning out to be a good one.

Regards, Val

Hi Fleur...received your "random words" photo postcard...Lovely as always... great photos.. xxoo

Bonjour Fleur!

Many thanks for your beatutiful card. The words might have been random, but the images certainly weren't. It's all very summery -- even if the words didn't quite (or even at all) match up with the images.

I'll bmaking some Mail Art stuff up this weekend, and will send you something back soon.

I hope that you're having a good summer, and that it's not too hot for you in Oakland.

Thanks again and best wishes,
val

Fleur, just to let you know I received your photo booklet...awesome!!! the photos were so cool...my husband even recognized one photo from Oakland...We actually lived in Oakland for maybe 6 months from 1974-1975 (Navy) and then returned to the Bay Area in 1980-1981....

I am going to try to get out and about, so I can send some good architecture your way from MN...hugs *!*

Hi Fleur! Hope all is well. I'm back from vacation (which was great!), catching up on my stuff. I've posted some of your mail here. It's such a neato little book. I like the idea of the city photos in that accordion format.  I have something in mind to send in return as soon as I get it together.

Bonjour Fleur once again! This time, thank you very much for the Venice Beach card --the simplicity of it makes it feeling very beautiful. I went to Venice many years ago, and I'll be going to my local beachh in about 93.25 minutes time. It's a pleasantly hot summer here. i hope your summer is good too,

Regards, Val (who will be mailing you back something soon -- if he manages to drag himself from the ebach and get semi-organised)

Yes Fleur the Cat was beautiful and she was very loyal to us, but sweet is a word that doen't come to mind when I think of her. As a young cat I used to take her around in a harness and lead but had to stop after she started chasing dogs, with me hanging on the lead. Very embarrasing.

Beautiful photo "Summer in Berkeley, California 3/4....thank you!

Such a good idea, I got unique for the u immediately but the r has me puzzled. I will give it a little more time and what about a graphic poem?

tss! your R words are better than my choice. any how here there is a 'pom' for you. This collaboration was exciting to do. Great idea, Fleur.

On the back there is a oil I painted, of Fleur. Can I have your permission to send this card to the Cat Lovers group, from both of us of course?

Thanks for the scrap add/pass; what a brilliant idea!!! Art coming your way soon.... All the best! Did you photograph the palm tree w. red flowers? Nice!

I have added you beautiful mini hanging to my blog, Fleur, thank you it is so lovely. The cat is gorgeous too.

Thank you for the great card, Fleur.

'Love the wording very much.

Here on a Blue Blog :

Happy Blues in the mail box from Suus and Mim and Fleur!

Dear Fleur, Thank you! Your 'Everyday Beauty' little booklet. It is very lovely. I especially like the decorated stick 'thing' on the last page. 'Summer in Oakland' does, indeed, look very beautiful.

If, and when, I can tear myself away from the beach and my Sea Monsters, I'll send you something back soon. It should be before we get to 'Winter in Sigean' -- which has a strange beauty of it's own.

As, of course, do I.

Modestly (!) Val

Bonjour Flowery Fleury, I got your little book, and will add and pass as requested to .... who will be the lucky recipient? I don't know yet. Hope you are well. Bestest, Val

Thankyou/Merci!

I do love your little stickers and yippeeee! I'm going to get some more; And something neon. And a surprise...hurry up, UPS, cos I ain't good at waiting.

Bestest, Val

Sending you something today!!!

That would be great!  Thank you so much.  I'll keep working on my art!

JUDY

Thank you, Fleur! Beautiful flowers in my mail box today xxx

Nice transparent sleeve...the post gal got a chance to see the flowers, and the butterfly stamps, made her smile, too!
