Thank you, it is a great honour to be in your fantastic blogs, Heleen. you do so much. Yesterday I went to visit an old manor house and collected (photos) lots of horses, they will get into my art no doubt.

Wonderful, it arrived!!!! :) Thank you for the cards, will be used properly. The front of the envelope has many names and I will resend the envelope to east southern Europe. Will tell you if it arrives, or the onr that gets it will.. The envelope is on!

Thank you for your contest entry.

Thanks for your great free spirited dancer! Also the stamp with the dancer on it! I'll blog soon.

Love the cards you sent me, Rainbow tree and Blobvis &  Blob! You are way talented my friend!! I wish you could scan and post the cards for all to see because i don't have a scanner!

You Rock!

I have just now seen the magnificent display you have made with my silly ostrich and the photo I found of the puffins, which really made me laugh. Thank you very much, you are very kind!

Thank you, Heleen, you are absolutely correct to say that Salonica,( or Salonique, or Selonik, or Salun,) is really the same place as Thessaloniki. We sometimes cut it short and say "Thess"...but really, the city was named after Alexander the Great's sister who was born to their father, King Philip, just at the time of his battle and victory ("niki"- Nike?) over Thessaly. Thus her name means "Victory over Thessaly" = Θεσσαλονίκη.

Nice city-by-the-sea :-)

And thank you for the dear comment about "Walnut Tree". Nazim Hikmet is a very favorite poet here in Greece. It is amazing how he wrote decades ago about environmental problems.

hello Heleen  !!!!

I sent you this mail art in the beginning of January ....Received or lost ????

Thanks for your answer !

Dear Heleen !  Many thanks for this nice answer, I am impatient to receive it, but

don't hurry we have time.....Friendly yours!

Hey dearest Heleen!!!! I am loving your 50 shades of ORANGE!!!! So hilarious and clever!!! I LOVE your mailing!! Sorry I've been so slack in responding, but you are in my mind and on my list Ms Leech/eel/knitting prawn....???

Dear Heleen, I don't often use this word but today I have to: awesome. That bird parcel you sent arrived during the week and I saved it until today so I could relish opening it. I'm so happy to receive such a bountiful gift! See you soon in the post for sure.

By the way, have you ever watched the Piip Show ... ?

Heleen -- so glad you liked the postcard.

Heleen, no need to apologize, I didn't remember either what had I sent you or said!

Perhaps on your next envelope addressed to me ( absolutely no hurry!) you could stick s Kevin stamp, please? It will be a surprise for my postman.

Forgot to say that you have done a super report on my mail to you, thanks! And that I love that blue platipus

I hope you will receive the other two envelopes soon. But maybe you need to wait a little... This kind of mail needs a lot of trust in postal services!

I'm glad that the first two in arriving show the beginning of the message... :D

Gracias por avisarme de la llegada de mi mailart!!!!

Saludos desde Chile.

Hi Heleen,

Thanks for the lovely rubberstamp!

Hello Heleen !  i just finish  a MA for you ...wich will be sent to morrow ...

and now I read the theme  """orange """....so something  will join you more later..;

Keep an eye on your Box !

Your post arrived safe and well! Thanks Heleen! I'm just starting to introduce Mailart here in Bangkok to a new audience. :-)

That'll solve it! I had the same problem too.

Thanks for the blogs.  I think I found them all.

So glad the "security" mail art arrived , securely!

Take your time blogging...no rush :-)

20.08.14 Dare Ms. Heleen de V.,  ... just curious, how much to send a copy of" the Englishman who mailed himself" my way?... & Congratulations for penetrating the inner sanctum of Ripley's "Believe it or not"!!! Most interesting...the fact that Ripley's has finally discovered mail art. Best to you. Richard 

Gave Mail Art, Heleen. Dank je wel. Ben zelf ook met blokjes aan de gang ;) Binnenkort meer en blog op snailmailsuus.blogspot.com

I just received a bird from someone named Heleen and you were the only one I could find in the Netherlands. Did you send this?

A fantasticly well drawn horse  Heleen, beautiful background too. Nougat is a good model and you are lucky to have it, I haven't got any horses at hand at the moment, boo hoo! Soon it will be on show.

Kevin was very happy with your message on the envelope, he is enjoying all this attention and doesn't mind if he has to wait for me to get to the door as he spends the time looking at the show. Always finds something new, he says.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I like sheep....

So, if you're looking for a place where your late sheep can go....send it to me?

I need a new foot, badly! Thank you.

No I didn't get the addressless envelope. 'Addressless'? Mmm;

I once sent an envelope to myself with just 'Herman, Sigean' written on it. It got delivered, but the Post Office now knows me well -- and I'm the only Herman (that I know of) in Sigean. If you tried something similiar, it might get here eventually, but I suspect that you'd need something like 'Herman, 11130-Sigean, France' for it to have any chance of arriving if you sent it from Amstelveen

Nougat's friend is so very cute! Eclipses him. When I said ' lucky you have a horse' I think,  I meant 'access to a horse' . I used to have two horses nearby, not mine,  which I sketched many times but eventually they were sold. Boo hoo...

Thanks!

Is the alpaca called 'Piet'?

Before he comes my way, please play him this record which is called 'Piet Mondrian discovers Vinyl Art'.

If he likes that and is a 'down under' alpaca, then he might like to listen to another record which is called 'Piet Mondrian discovers Vinyl Art AND Dots':

There is a very good contemporary art gallery about 6 kms from here. One of the works in the permanent collection is an early Mondrian -- non linear, very dark, and almost areverse colour Turner. It's really good!

Thank you for greeetings and information World post day .Don't worry for reply because often I 'm very busy too so cannot answer early .
Take care!
Lorella.

Thank you for your comment on the wall...

Heleen, thanks for the postcards, mine and Kevin's. He is away at the moment and the girl who replaces him is very taken with mail art. I love the snail to colour up, which I will do when I can get a quiet moment to truly enjoy it. The horse is so good and so is the horse stamp. Cannot take photos of the door at the moment  because the weather is terrible.

Thank you, Heleen!

I so enjoy your painted "postage stamp"postcards :-)

Let me know when some "snail" mail arrives from Greece :-)
