Penny Red from Val.France :-)

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

See? on the vintage envelope...there is a stamp

a very OLD stamp (but a facsimile, of course)

It's called a Penny Red.

oh, NOT a Penny Black?

Very interesting mailing ...

An "vintage" envelope...

with little goodies inside

and inside another  envelope...

From Valentine MARK Herman

and LaPoste!

I'm lovin' it! xxx

OMG! Val!

So you tossed in a REAL Penny Red in the little envelope

and didn't say anything to me? Like: be careful opening...

search deeply...be on the look out for the Penny Red!

You would never tell or post what and how you are sending mail art,

always good for "surprise", eh?

So, there I was, in the city for a mail pick up and then my son

drives me out on the highway to the beaches, going 150 km per,

car windows wide open to catch that beautiful Aegean Sea breeze...

me opening mail art in the car...envelopes...things, tiny things, flying all over

...and out the windows. Oops, caught the Edinburgh and the Maastricht thingies

before they had a chance to fly-the-coop. Oh, a speck of "something" flew out...

maybe dust?

Where is the Penny Red?

:-)

I just checked the little envelope NOW.

Lucky for you...and me...it was "glued' to the sticky inside.

Now it is safe and sound in a special place...maybe worth a few 

thousand euro???

xxx Thank you my dear Valentine!
