Betty's box arrived here yesterday, and everything is safe and sound. It is a lovely box, very typical of Betty's great handiwork. We are in the middle of moving several downed trees out of our front pasture, and need it done before we host our sheepdog trial. I will endeavor to get pictures in the morning.
I got some Canadian maple syrup and Canadian fudge. Betty made me a beautiful painted wooden plate complete with a wooden knife and a "sliced" wooden apple. She also sent a soap in the shape of a cupcake and two pouches of seeds, one four o'clock and the other coreopsis.
Love everything, thanks Betty.

Victoria Harbour, ON
