Inspiring


On the back of yesterday's envelope sent by Phillip (the USA), there was also a nice drawing:



Do you remember it? Yes, it was one of Heleen's drawings! She was inspired by her daughter's old notebook, and then she inspired another artist...I love that. And, of course, I don't agree with Phillip's words: the cow is nice and made me laugh (that is the purpose of laughing cows, isn't it?).

More Cheez Dippers

Sent by Heleen (the Netherlands)
I like this modern version of the Laughing Cow and her friends. But I must confess that I have never tasted the Cheez Dippers variety.




Have I shown this cowstamp before?


Sincerely a Cow



Envelope given by FinnBadger (the USA) and send back to Kate (the USA). I have always wanted to write a postcard in round!


Vintage VQR in Oz


Cover sent by Raphael'L (France). This is the second mail art that places the Laughing cow in Oz (?!).

Nesting Cows


Big cowenvelope send by Phillip (the USA). It was made with a cover (I think) of the Hoard's Dairyman: The National Dairy Farm Magazine. The issue contains, at least, an interesting article:


Have you noticed the cowstamps?



But the envelope contained a second one. See it unfolded:


And even a third one!


Inside I found a withe cowpostcard (front and back, or back and front):


And a note. Yes, the right word is... amazing!!


What an envelope!


How many cows can you count on this non-birthday packet sent by John (the UK)? I wonder how it arrived with all the stickers in their place.

Oh, and wait: you have not seen the back yet!


I enjoyed some details:





Stampfree VQR

Big envelope sent by John (the UK)

It seems that the sender put the stamps and they were postmarked... and then lost in way (?). The back:

Vintage Cow

Sent by Heleen (the Netherlands)
Sent inside this wonderful hand-made cowcover:


VQR bike

Sent by John (the UK)

Can you imagine a cover with more VQR? It seems that John has caught something like the Mad Cow Disease (or the Laughing Cow Disease, to be exact). Now he can't send a single envelope without cows...

Oh, wait: there is one more cow in the back!


Letter from Portugal

Sent by Ângela (Portugal)

It is impossible not to like this colourful letter!

Colourful VQR calligraphy

Sent by Richard (France)

Very special cover. Look closer at the cowstamp:



And the sender included an interesting article from the newspaper!


Stamps?

Sent by Heleen (the Netherlands)
Obviously the postal office workers didn't confused the VQR with stamps, and they didn't put the postmark over them. 

Nice!

Sent by Ângela (Portugal)

This cowcover made me smile... What a intelligent way to use the back of the VQR labels! :)

(Happily my name is short. Otherwise Ângela had be obliged to eat a lot of cheese!)

San Franciscow

Sent by Raphael'L (the USA)
Please, look at this collage closer because it contains a lot of wonderful details.

And it arrived inside a cowcover with a gorgeous (French?!?) cowstamp. I confess I had seen the stamp on a website and I was wondering if one day I would receive it. So this letter made my day!
