...I was 3 & sent my first homemade card? ... I had my first penpal at age 9 & sent some crazy stuff through the mail? ...I went to college & started using the label Real Mail? ...I found this site?
I love to create Real Mail, send Real Mail, and receive Real Mail. After reading the book "Good Mail Day," I realized there are others like me! I studied art history, and I worked in paper conservation and graphic design. I am addicted to paper and all things postal. When it comes to art and books, I will never go paperless, and I will do my part to keep the postal system in business.

Hello New Friend Marguerite! If you'd like to exchange some Mail Art, then send me something to 1 Rue de la Vieille Fontaine, F-11130 Sigean, France, and I promise (cross my heart, and hope to die) that I'll send you something back. Regards from Your New Friend, Val
Bonjour Marguerite! Many thanks indeed for ther envelope full of 'party favours' goodies that you sent. There's some great stuff in there, raising the question should I pass (and add) or be selfish and keep for myself? Who knows?
I'm not going to open the lil packagae'Stamp a stamp' until the weekedn, and then perhaps I'll start carving my own faux postage. Quel faux!
Ohhhh, beautiful blue arrived in Greece, Marguerite! Thank you! You color my world, too! And I love the map fragment...Kalaoa, Hawaii (I love to google map things, too). Great effect with stitchery...and even a blue dolphin stamp! Perfect!
Bonjour Marguerite! Thanks for the lil card with the boat sailing on the water, and the lil oy in as alor's suit, and 'life is good'. I hope it is for you, and that the summer is not unbearabbly hot in Lancaster.
I'll be maling up some things in the next couple of days, and will send you something back.
Another Bonjour! Another Thankyou! This time, Dear Marguerite, for the Pennsylvania Dutch card -- Old Fashioned Goodness, indeed, from you to me. I'm glad that you had a relaxing vacation. I seem to have been on vacation since I was retired -- note the tense -- about 10 years ago, but Art keeps me busy. I'll be mailing you something back by the end of the week.
I can't keep up, Marguerite! And still another of your special Mail Art pieces has arrived -- this one with a pretty hand-cum-tree/fingered card AND a lovely card with collaged miwed-media squares/ Wow! Lucky me.
So I owe you yet another piece. I will catch up, PROMISE.
Marguerite, we need to get Val a scanner or something. Your work sounds wonderful by the sound of Val, and it would be nice to see it for real. Did by chance did you scan it before you sent it?
Margeurite, your ingenious little flux kit arrived. My daughter fell in love with every little thing you put in it. It is my first to receive and I say AMEN to the manifesto. Thank you so much I love every little bit
Thanks for the Happy Halloween card -- tis very 'jolie', as we say here in France. 'Trick or treat', the ATC card asks -- well I guess the card is my treat.
Am glad you survived Sandy. The pictures on TV of the devastation in NY and NJ looked awful.
I'll be mailing you something back soon -- similiar, but, I hope, pleasingly different to the last thing I sent you.
Marguerite, thank you for the Valentine envelope...I did as you wished and passed along a small, but full, envelope of <3...big hug to you...xxoo...Amy
Thanks for the bookie Margaritte, I shall put it to good use. It is so clever the way you have made the cover and the card and the postcards bookie are beautiful. They are here

Bonjour Mademoiselle!
Thank you for the nibbles all the way from Lancaster. They bvtasted nice, very nice indeed.
You say that it's very hot where you are, and I wonder how hot is hot?
Here' it's about 90° today, but there's a strong wind and that keeps things bearable;
I went to the beach for 3 hours this morning, and it's much, much cooler there (although th sea was freezing, well, cold).
I'll be sending you something back by the end of the week.
Don't melt away!
Bestest, Val
