Here is all the mail art that arrived in my space shuttle this week:

Firstly, a missive from the Republik Van Patland with a beautiful envelope (which made me smile), an altered guitar pick and a leaflet explaining the interesting stamps he used on this and the previous mailing.  I now have one of each design.  The postcard is also brilliant and I shall indeed be sure to carry lots of rubber stamps!…
