PROY#59 received from Annick SB – Chenove, France – 14 May 2013
Annick sent me this card, with several delicate pink, red, orange and yellow references!
ON top of the card, she writes: "L'art postal, j'en suis timbrée !". Litteral translation: ""Mail art, I'am stamped of it!". I'am not sure if you can say: "Mail art, I'm loony of it!"
Above the address, Annicke proposes "En mai poste ce qu'il te plaît !", that is, "In may, mail what pleases you!", probably by reference to the saying "En mai, fais ce qu'il te plaît", that is, "never cast a clout till May is out". This is the theme of a call from Françoise Bourgon (see

PROY#58 received from Darie - Красноярск, Russland – 15 April 2013
Even if this Postcrossing card was probabably not sent to me as mail art,
I consider it as a contribution to my PROYproject!
Darie sent me a PostCrossing card made out
of Krasnoyarsky bus tickets. She
writes that people in Krasnoyarsk believe that "lucky" tickets bring
happiness to whom gets them! A ticket is "lucky" if the sum of the
first three numbers is equal to that of the last three. For ex. a 622370-ticket
is a "lucky" one: 6+2+2 = 3+7+0! So, Darie proposes me to search if I
have a "lucky" ticket—and yes! I have one: the 220400! Thanks to Darie
who sent me (some of) her bus tickets—and, in addition, sent me a "lucky"
ticket—and in addition, made a wonderful red PostCrossing card out of them! I'm
HAPPY!Tuesday, 7 May 2013
