Tea Time Mail Art show

The mail art show at Carytown Teas looks terrific! Patricia and Misty came up with a really good way to display the pieces using a frame that they'd purchased at the vintage shop next door. Patricia, in the white blouse, Misty, staffing the counter, and I hope that everyone enjoys seeing the work. While I was there to take the photos, a couple who live in Japan came in to buy some tea and we had the pleasure of explaining the show. Stop by if you're in the neighbor and have a cup tea with Misty and Patricia.

Thanks, Gracias, Grazie, Danke, Arrigato to all

Thanks to all of you who submitted to this Tea themed show. After Patricia and her staff, of Carytown Teas, completes the installation of the work at the tea shop, I'll take photos and post them here. Again, thanks to all for your much appreciated submissions. We loved them all. 25 Mail Artists from 10 countries!

This terrific piece, Brain Cell 695, was scanned in two parts because of it didn't fit on my scanner.

Chevalier Daniel C. Boyer, Houghton, Michigan, USA

This is the envelope received. The contents were not in it when I picked up the entries to post. I'm hoping to receive the content and will post that later. Sorry, Daniel.

I found the contents. I didn't recognize it as an entry until Misty and Christy at the teashop clued me in. So here it is. I hope Daniel will clue us in to how it ties into the theme.

We're curious.

Scott said "I hope this isn't too vulgar..." He doodled it and it amused him. We hope it doesn't offend, either. Note that the other card is collaged with fabric.
