Barbargirl (Key West, FL) sent two pieces of mail this past summer.

Barbargirl's mail from June is chock full of stuff - including a colorful, tri-fold card. A pocket (with lots of goodies enclosed) is attached to the inside. I especially like the 'First National Bank of Gotham' one dollar bill!

This envelope of goodies came from Billy Haddock. Just received it on April 5. I corresponded with him for the first time after Ed Geicek passed along Eerie Billy's card / address to me. ​

MomKat's mail to me came a couple of days after I sent one her way. She just informed everyone that she's going on holiday, so she probably won't get my mail until the end of April.

Katerina forwarded a few Add & Pass sheets from David Aponte, and included a couple of her pieces of art. Thanks so much!

A few months back I signed up for USPS "Informed Delivery."

​As per the postal service's website: "Informed Delivery allows you to view greyscale images of the exterior, address side of letter-sized mailpieces and track packages in one convenient location.*
* Images are only provided for letter-sized mailpieces that are processed through USPS' automated equipment"
This is the greyscale image of mail I SHOULD HAVE received from Barbargirl. What a darling piece! Too bad I didn't get a chance to see what's inside!

Thank You BARBARGIRL, for the mail that ALMOST ARRIVED!

Number 1, Side A is a photo of a collage piece. Nancy is skillful at layering and adding texture. The asemic writing is an added bonus.

​Number 2, Side A is an 'ink minimal.' According to Nancy - she enjoys 'doing it at times. It is SO HARD for me to get minimal!'

Here is a piece of mail art that features a handmade envelope by yours truly. I used pages from a 'coffee table' book to make it. K. Rolina from the UK was the recipient.

I always LOVE what I receive from Nancy Bell Scott, and in the short time we've been IUOMA "friends" - she has been so encouraging! I greatly appreciate the support, Nancy!!

The month of March ended with mail from Mary J. Grellner! Mary shared one of her new collages, which I like very much because of the vintage elements. Lovely piece!
Picture
Included in the envelope was a post card of a marble statue of Joan of Arc by Francois Rude, French sculptor (1784-1855).

The pooch pictured here, is Mary's cute dog, Mimi!  As a dog lover, I appreciate the photo.

​Thanks, Mary!!

A postcard with a sweet note came from Ella Banker in May. The postcard features a proud peacock, and Ella gave it a nice splash of color. I especially love THE BEE "Creativity" sticker.

The end of May and middle of June brought two pieces from Henry Guild of Forest Hills, NY. 

​
The first envelope, postmarked May 25, includes street photos entitled "Alice and Keyhole." Two photos show a young man perched on the front step of a city building. He holds the neck of his jacket closed, trying to stay warm. He is unfazed by the people who walk past him. A third photo shows another person sitting on a milk crate. A handwritten sign rests against his legs. A news story is on the flip side of the photo pages, 
"Two Mexican policemen convicted for murder of Moises Sanchez; chief suspects still at large.
