Continuing with the last one in the Katerina Nikoltsou series, here is number 10.  OK OK don't get excited.  I know that number 9 has not yet arrived, but mail art life must go on.  This is "No Time" to be waiting around.

And "No Coffee Time"

As you can see, Katerina has taken a major jump for mankind by making her own envelopes. The traditional blue & white ones are no longer made in Greece.  Actually the rest of the world had red & blue stripes, Greece seems to have had only blue stripes.

And although the blue & white striped envelope was Katerina's trademark, I'm happy to be surprised by her new homemade ones.  (This reminds me of a recent quote of The Blessed Father aka Rick; "Stop complaining, it's FREE.)  PS What kind of name is Rick for a Blessed Father?  Peter, Paul or even Mary would have been a better than Rick.  Now that's complaining!

     And in the likelihood that no one is still reading this, I'll tell you my envelope story.  Way back when I was a student, we had to use the airmail envelopes and special thin pieces of paper to send international letters.

     The store that sold them would charge a small fortune for a pack of ten.  Often you would have to decide between letters back home or French bread.  The later won most of the time.  Except when it was time to ask the parents to send more money! 

     Thank you Katerina, and I'm not complaining, but I'll be happy to never have those airmail envelope flashbacks again!  And thank you to all of you who read to the end.  Click the "Favorite" button on this blog and I'll send you something.   And no Katerina, don't tip off all of your friends.  I'm on to your tricks!

TIME is relative ...I think it is my cousin?

NO time like the Present!
