Stripygoose's Blog (275)

This is a real treat and packed with goodies, add n pass and something form the 'time' series.

I'm just getting into making boekies and this is inspiring.

The Folkestone Quintet Series

Someone in Canada made a call for envelopes to mark the :-( future demise of the to-the-door postal system there and also to celebrate their birthday, but who was it? I can't find it anywhere now... any clues anyone? 

Thank you to (drum-roll) Dean, Rachel, Robin, Antonia, Taidgh, Mim, Moan Lisa, Judy...

A really precious little collection. Absolutely love them. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much Christine - this is gorgeous and such a lovely surprise!

Anyone else getting little question marks instead of the photos? I can't seem to upload any - is it my laptop or is something funny going on?

The British Postal Museum and Archive has sent out a call to hear about "the strangest thing you've received through the mail - what's the story and what does it mean to you". You can email them:

I don't know what their plan is, but thought I'd let you know antway! 

Big big thanks to Linda, Marni, Dean, Amy, Parissa and Prairie Kittin.

mailart martha and stripygoose both exhibited envelopes at a charity exhibition on London's Southbank. The brief was simple yet confusing, the exhibition was wonderful, the charity - National Brain Appeal - raised thousands and we had a friendly meet-up at the gallery.

In case you can't read the text, bottom right of the card:

'Nothing stays secret round here'. 

Is that a good thing? I don't know, but this card is high on my favourites list. …

I love it when I get a piece of mailart in the post and I love it even more when three arrive at once. Thanks to you three - you're all so generous. Enigmatic collage, glorious ATCs and the teeniest, witty tourist card.

See you all soon in the post and thanks again.…
