HARE Easter...(not here until next Sunday :-)

Greek Easter is April28, hoping all are enjoying Easter time and Spring!

(or going into Fall, down under?) Lovely SPRING card, too!…

Inge Hauser sent this hand colored and lettered card with uplifting thoughts.  What lovely colors and the lettering is so joyous!  Thanks Inge!!

Mike Parsons sent (inside a clear sleeve) a sequin covered card.  Simple, yet eye catching.  Amazing I wasn't attacked by the blue jays who covet all things sparkly.  the scan doesn't do justice to the card's eye popping shimmer.  Thanks Mike!

Du 11 au 19 mai j'ouvre un bureau de poste (Postenomade) à St. Geoire en Valdaine (38) dans le cadre "Ouverture Exceptionnelle"  une manifestation où les artistes de tout sortes investissent un lieu commercial fermé.

4x6 postcard on cardboard, meticulously straight and ruled.  I don't know if Reijn checks here, but thanKs!

Mail art by IUOMA member Jayne Lyons (Lakeville, Minnesota, USA)

April 18, 2019 - Recently Jayne Lyons celebrated her first year in the Eternal Network.
