Received a nice set of shadow puppets on paper plus this call honoring the shadow in all of us. I am a big fan of shadow shows and silhouette puppetry and these characters are a nice addition to my collection.…

Received a hand inked addition to a vintage style postcard for Italian MA Nicholas Antoine.
