Maybe a relative of Svenja's:

You took a chance with the oh so delicate overlay, and it survived beautifully. Many thanks, Svenja ---

The top photo is of this great crumbly package from Katerina, containing some of the most beautiful crumbly type of rust I've had the good fortune to own. It will be used in mail art, no question, and it arrived with this big THANK…
