Comment: Thank you, thank you - I loved everything! My husband does more of an... intricate packing thing with his lunches than I do (I just take frozen veggies and tofu, most days), so I shared some of the little bottles with him. If I didn't share, he'd only get bills in the mail :D
Response: isn't bento fun?

Comment: Carol, what an extraordinarily generous package you sent me! Wow, thank you so much. The dish towels, pincushion, sewing scissors, button-head pins and fun doodads are far more than you needed to send, and I am so grateful! What a nice surprise. Now I will go back to your (as yet unmailed) package and add some goodness to it. Many thanks.
