Great mail art from Cathérine Petré, i just can't decide what my number is, maybe the seven?? Thank you very much, Cathérine (and for the great stickers!! I'll use them immediately...), I like this very much. As always there was a wonderful corresponding envelope:…

Just when I wished for more Nancy-art I found this wonderful card in my mailbox. Nancy wrote that it was just too spooky to keep it and that she wondered, "To whom can I send it?" - I seemed to be quirky enough! I'm really happy to be quirkyfied!! I love it, the way the painting creeped (?) into the old paper, the fading colours... 

And I love the…

I am one very happy chicken receiving this envelope stuffed with goodies from dear Nancy.... a gorgeous vintage style trash book, handmade nancypaper, a postcard to Nancy's mum informing her about the skylight in the kitchen nook, a front page of the Portland Press Herald, and some pages from Shakespeare's King Richard for me to use sometime! WHEW! What treasures!

The trashbook is so neat, tied up with some fine thread, and includes all kinds of ephemera, including a piece of Lindt…

I got half a bowlful of beautiful luminous green apples today so the doctor will definitely be kept away! How brilliant is this colour???? Thankyou Judith!
