Mail Art Martha sent a small but thick envelope. Here it is. I love that IUOMA stamp, it is one of the best I have seen. 

The envelope is full of treats. Firstly, I found a thick piece of paper with a collage painting by Martha.

It is a collage painting of an apple surrounded by autumn colours and splotches of gold. I dont know if I am showing it sideways, but I like it that way. A golden apple, what a treasure!

It reminds me of one of my favourite childhood reads, "Mio, my Mio" by Astrid Lindgren, where the mail character receives a mysterious golden apple as a sign at the onset of the story..

Martha also sent one limited edition collector's model of the Shopping Trolley Gallery. Cool!Last but not least I received ten bucks, ahem ten Marths, for a coffee and cake treat in Retailia.

Thank you so much, Martha! I hope I will get to stop by one day!
