Alison...thanks for starting this thread. I ripped into mine the minute I got it...the first an exotic package of shells and rocks gathered from the shores of Singapore and the Phillipines. In the process of making a suitable display for these treasures (and the fantastic stamps on the outside), I got yet another present, an envelope...this time from Thailand, with shells, coral and little chips of some exotic bright blue bits, to add to the first. Just getting these missiles, in my rural mailbox, has been a delight, and has probably upped my rep with the mail lady no end.

My SS is holding out on me...I've been combing the Mudcat at odd hours trying to piece together clues with info, so far to no avail. But it has made this season fun and exciting...
