Two pieces left us this past weekend at an Antique show where I set up a booth, complete with flower arrangements by my beautiful wife of forty years. I wear a tie and I leave the hat in the car.
Buster Brown and Tige which I posted last year as Five Feet in the Air, and the Tru Blu Biscuit Company van (We Deliver!) both found new homes. As I promise each of the folks that purchase one of my pieces of old paper, I sent them a piece of mail art as a thank you. As I do with each of the pieces of mail art, I've left the removable labels off of the image I post. Removable labels are the greatest invention since Post-It notes.
Make sure you stop by The Best Hearts Are Crunchy for Postcard Friendly Friday hosted by Beth Niquette for a stein full of other great mail art images!
Love those Wizard of Oz stamps!! The right stamp finishes off a piece of mail art perfectly.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fine job again. Happy PFF.
ReplyDeleteOh sure, you wear a tie, but you probably tie it around your knee. The free spirit lives.
ReplyDeleteReally love that Buster Brown!
Very lucky people to be receiving beautiful mail art like these!
ReplyDeleteBuster Brown sure brings back the memories. Nice to hear your goodies are finding good homes and how lucky for the buyers to receive mail art, too. Tie? Tie? My goodness!
ReplyDeleteHappy PFF!
I remember seeing Buster Brown ads on saturday morning TV.
ReplyDeleteAre the wizard of oz stamps current?
ReplyDeleteThose are just wonderful!! My grandfather was a salesman for Thomas & Clark - Crackers, Biscuits and Cakes - in Peoria. I immediately thought of that when I saw the Tru Blu Biscuit piece. Beautiful pieces! Carol
ReplyDeleteYour mail art is inspiring. I like taking old calendar art pages and turning them into envelopes.
ReplyDeleteI have to comment on the Wizard of Oz stamps, too. Very cool on the mail art.
ReplyDeleteI am convinced that we will have common projects soon. :)
ReplyDeleteWhere do you buy the removable labels? Just one more detail in your oh-so-perfect mail art, Dave. Echoing above, lucky, lucky people who buy the pieces and then get these in the mail as bonus.
ReplyDeleteEmery makes them, but I buy the Staples brand - which I obviously purchase at Staples, and they come in a variety of sizes. They also can be run through an inkjet printer, but I just write on them.
ReplyDeleteWonderful mail art... love reading your posts each week.
