To my surprise, yesterday I came home to find a package from my online friend/pen pal Crap Artist who's over in Berlin, Germany. We last sent each other packages in the fall, so I suppose this is the new round of springtime exchanges. Mr. Artist contained his goodies in a lovely envelope with a map printed on the inside and lined with beautiful German postage stamps:

After carefully documenting the envelope, I opened it to reveal a great deal of trinkets and surprises that Mr. Artist had exquisitely chosen for my delight! Thanks to Flickr notes, he provided some lovely details about each of the items:

• [Fist Polaroid] Piotr Uklanski - Untitled (Fist), 2008 from 5th berlin biennial for contemporary art
• [Supermarket Polaroid] Urrr, a supermarket aisle.
• [Stickers] Korean stickers a friend gave me.
• [Muscle Men] Got these in NYC a couple of years ago.
• [Green Sticker] From a conference on Micronations in Berlin.
• [Caderno] Caderno from Portugal (but bought in Berlin, http://www.serrote.com/)
• [Thank You Card] Thank You card for the awesome package I got from .tiff a while ago.
  Bought in the Regional Assembly of Text, Vancouver
• [Paper Bag] A nice paper bag from a German pharmacy.
• [Super Illustration in 3-D] Stereoscopig viewer, made by my brother-in-law.
