Letter, SAE, 'Follow That Bird' dvd cover
Received - 13/11/12 (62 days) also 21/1/13
No sign of dvd cover, nor the envelope I sent, but in a smaller envelope which he had addressed himself I received a signed sesame street sticker 'Big Bird! Hi Becks', the cardboard I included in my original envelope (but cut down to fit in this new one) with a little drawing of Big Bird added to it in marker, a small colour drawing of big bird on the reverse of a gloss card picture of one of Caroll Big Bird paintings which appears to be a flyer from an old gallery show, a signed and inscribed photo of Big Bird with the message 'Becky - This picture was taken over 30 years ago, yet I am still 6 years old. Love - Big Bird, Caroll Spinney', a signed and inscribed picture of Oscar the Grouch, a letter from Mr Spinney himself thanking me for mine but adding that I was just in time as he is going to have to stop answering fanmail now due to the vast volume he receives and he is still working so just doesn't have the time to keep answering, and finally, a signed A4 paper print out of a wonderful Christmas illustration featuring Big Bird and Oscar and also cartoons of Mr Spinney and his wife at the bottom along with a message. He even decorated the envelope a bit.
