Do you have video, DVD, DVD-Rom, CD discs you wish to share with others. A group to share mail art related media.
"Yes you are lucky over there Bradford.
Thanks Mel Anie. I made a good investment all those years ago but I do not put it pass the PO to cancel them somehow. I shall check prices regularly now, it would have been dreadful if Alan Brignull had not…"
"I forgot to add, sorry about your privatized postal rates going up every year. As you can see from the table I posted, our rates do not go up as often and are lower overall. The future, I cannot predict."
"US postal rates are set to change on the 26th of January 2021. (They are not already in place.) Here is a summary:
Product
Current Rate
New Rate
Letters (1 oz.)
55 cents
55 cents (no change)
Letters additional oz.
15…"
"Non-denominational 2nd class and 1st class stamps are always valid, Martha, whatever price you paid for them. 2nd class costs 66p now. 1st class, 85p. But if you bought them when they were cheaper and they have not been used, you can use them."
"Second class stamps are surely OK? I bought lots of them years ago"
"Yes, a bit of a shock. Luckliy I found out last December so bought a big stack of 2nd class stamps along with my Xmas stamps. The PO is sneaky like that! I might be using carrier pigeon from now on!"
"Does everybody know that PO prices have changed since January 1st? I did not, the PO could have found a way to make it public. I nearly sent my next batch with less postage than the necessary."
"Nothing is forever as we all know. All stamps, presidents, pandemics etc. will be confined to the dustbin of history. A bit of mail art from 1972 - just fished out the dustbin for you all -"
"Mick Boyle. I had it and now can't find it again! O well - thanks for the remix."
"Here's a few of Yoko Ono's bottoms to make ammends for my stupidity!"
"Mick Boyle Ah, I think I've sussed it. Blimey - that took so long to figure out! I blame Covid !"
"Mick Boyle . Sorry , still not got the hang of it?! Where in the persons page do you go to find the name with the line underneath? I can't find anything like that on your page. Sorry for being so thick!"

Badge Collection
Posted on November 28, 2020 at 8:44am 4 Comments 2 Favorites
I've always enjoyed finding badges to pin to my lapel. As far back as the 60's in art school I can remember aking my own - usually from card with a simple safety pin sellotaped to the back. I think the first was an ironic Bert Weedon Fan Club badge ( Bert was a popular guitarist famous for his pamphlet "Play In A Day" ) . Began finding other badges and brooches in junk shops and flea markets. Hazel and Archie collect them too so between us have quite a varied selection from advertising, pop…

Besides collecting mail art and rubber stamps etc. we collect all manner of other things. The truth is we find it hard to throw anything away so eventually these piles of detritus become little collections of things. They say if you have just two things then it's become "a collection" . Focusing on just one of our interests - matchbox labels or to give it its proper name "phillumenism". Every years they have a wonderful Phillumenists Meet Up" (not sure if thats the right name they give…

November is here and the leaves pile up on the back garden path. Soon the green bin will be full. We are enjoying the colours of Autumn every day on our walks . Amazing yellows, browns and reds. We are lucky to have the countryside so close here in Rudheath. It's but a short walk to the Trent & Mersey canal in one direction and down the lane the other way are fishing ponds and the River Dane. Lots of farm land full of corn stubble and some for sheep and cows. Sadly some has been…

Hi Michael, I contacted the Special Collections department about it recently - but they are not open so I haven't 'seen' any of it yet. Another online avenue of exploration for me to follow up at the moment - I am stumbling along. I am very intrigued by the history and development of mail art. I didn't really know anything about it until I stumbled into it as a result of these lockdowns. It's one of those, 'curious things'.

- The emails were empty appart from a link. Also they say to come from Yahoo but the wastedpapiers address said 'damimas.com' All very strange.
I do not want to write to your Yahoo address in case it is compromised.

- Michael Good morning.
John has received two strange emails apparently from you . Their Yahoo adresses are wastedpapierscand wastedpapiersv
Did you send them? This is also strange as you and I have been recently communicating via Protonmail which is very safe. It is free with no ads. I do not use Yahoo anymore it drove me crazy with ads.
I hope your email has not been hacked

I love that orange dog!
I am also enjoying self isolation, we are taking it very seriously and started a week before the official date.
But I still have that I-cannot-cope-feeling. To think that some of my non-mail artists friends are bored. What is that? Do you know?
This is for you, from Retailia with love.
