Does everyone know the "Cadillac Ranch" installation (by Ant Farm) in Texas? I think that's where Bruce got the song title. It looks great spray painted. A Trashpo installation?

You're so lucky Kat! Haven't gotten one of those in ages. And JB et al really like pita chips don't they? maybe that's why he thought to send it to you. Can't wait to see more of your trashboekies. 

Nancy, my daughter used to call polka dots pokie spots and i never forgot it!

Rare trashpo in mailbox in Greece today! Super special, and it has pushed me to begin a little series of trashpo boekies! A REAL J.M.Bennett SHOPPING LIST!

Thank you, John! xx

"pokie spots," I am laughing!  Those are class-A socks below. And you might have an idea there, Genevieve.

Comment by Geneviève Chaussé on January 3, 2012 at 10:42pm

Thank you very much Nancy for your *great* words ; ) and thanks Diane for offering Nancy those beautiful socks. Is this mean that a mail-art call on ''SOCKS'' is launched? LOL!!! ;-D Would be lots of fun, no?

Comment by DKeys on January 3, 2012 at 10:11pm

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on January 3, 2012 at 3:38pm

Just beginning to catch up with Trashpo and I see really *great* trashbooks by Genevieve and Queen Diane--they knock my socks off. (See? They're gone. For now but not forever.)

Wanted to share Svenja Wahls mail art with you all...she sent my some wonderful ATC's that could be considered Trashpo due to the old book paper and postage stamps, but that's not what I was excited about...

Svenja used a Pepper Bag as an envelope...with pepper still hiding inside as well as that wonderful pepper smell...

N.I.C.E.  *o*

The ATC's can be viewed on the "ATC Rebel" group page...
