Nancy Bell Scott: Odd Ball Things and you got to hand it to Nancy for trying

Odd Ball Things yes, but some wonderful memories that came with it.  OH I remember thoses tags which were used before barcodes!  A real treat all of this stuff.  Where did you ever find that picture of my first girlfriend?  She looks a bit stiff in the picture, but boy did we have some laughs!

Sadly it is time to tell everyone that Nancy's glove never made it to Paris.  But you know what they say; Mail Art in the hand is better than two in the post.

Thank you Nancy, you win some and you lose sum.

Pfffffffffffffffff! Ha! I'm sure you made that up...she probably said Put a sock on it.

Yes she did say that the dear soul.  Then again she also said, "If the glove doesn't fit, screw it."  I was in shock for several days.

Lovely stuff there, Nancy.

Didn't Dean's mum once say to him "You can't hurry gloves, you'll just have to wait."??

Well, we've been in touch. Alas, she never recovered from her broken heart but the good times with you still sing in her head even though her face does not show it.

The glove, it's a pity, yes; I will try try again, there must be another lying about out there just waiting.

Thank you for this!

Oh, Dean!

That beautiful vintage glove never arrived in Paris??? How sad is that :-(

Hoping that someone, somewhere (in a post office storage room

or where ever) is appreciating the beauty of that mail art glove!

The bits and pieces from Nancy are wonderfully "vintage", as is your ol' girl friend!

(but the map t'aint Minnesota?)
