"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

That bus was out of this world! The glasses used to have one of their thingies, what are they called, the long piece that goes over your ear. It was barely hanging on, but did hang from that frame for a good year or two before falling off and getting lost.

Yes, let's trade trash. I am capable of sending one small envelope of paper trash too, not the smorgasbord that was dumped on Diane. That was irresistible but when calm I can behave moderately if absolutely necessary. Just want Trashpo group members to know this, to remove any possible fear floating around out there.

Yippee! Nancy, you can store all your new trash in style. Nancy and Angie are interested in exchanging  Trash --is anyone else?

Pandora's Box will arrive at your mail box. Contains found photos of strangers in strange situations.
Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on September 1, 2011 at 5:11am

That is cool, Erni, though it makes me hungry late at night. The only convincing reason that comes to me is that I have no trash at all and am in dire need of it. :--) The studio and house are empty, and it is a tragedy here.

Some finds! Are you taking sign-ups for receivers of the mail art cigar boxes?
Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on September 1, 2011 at 3:30am

Although there were probably many items before this, the photo shows the first trash item I remember picking up and falling in love with. It was in a parking lot in Holland, Michigan, visiting my husband's relatives soon after we'd met, and I knew picking up and loving a many-times-run-over specs frame might cause him some doubt. But it didn't! It has been hanging on some wall where we live ever since.
