Bananas!

[FinnBadger]

Here are the Banana Mailings I received in celebration of World Banana Day (Feb 21st) and International Banana Bread Day (Feb 23rd).

From Angie & Snooky. 

Love all the non-banana elements, in particular the piglet.

From Linda F.

 

She included a cool banana stamp. And the kid making a snow angel on the Winter Fun stamp kinda looks like she/he may have slipped on a banana peel if you squint a bit, and don't look too close.

 

 

I like the color she used to stamp a banana shape on the back.

A close up of the definitive(?) stamps - I love these, they are so unassuming, yet amazing.

 

 

 

And the fantastic Banana news letter! Watch out for banana mangles!! Not to mention bananas with pointy teeth.

The next two arrived with exquisite timing on the day itself.

 

From Lynn R

 

 

And the rotting banana itself.

 

 

From Dan M. Check out the great faux postage.

 

 

I like the banana insert in this orientation. It reminds me of dolphins.

Mim wasn't even on the official list, and she sent a very nicely stamped envelope. 

 

 

And a small banana streetscape.

And last but not least, nuts or bananas from Dean, the Artist in Seine. I think he's a bit of both. This is a packet of nuts he ate, then somehow resealed perfectly. The zoo stamp from France is amazingly long, a nice addition.

 

The back of the packet, with its banana add-ons.

 

And the contents... two pieces front...

 

...and back.

 

Thanks to all the banana mail artists - this was a blast receiving hilarious banana-themed mail over a two week period. Here's the group shot:

Wait...in the third week of April, the Banana Band will probably do this again?

:-) We love going BANANAS!

Great blog, by the way!
