Not a C theme, a Berkeley theme. Everything that we produce or are famous for. Deciding on the cookbook was hard there are so many great food writers here but Alice is our most well known. Sharfenberger chocolate and Peet's are good. And Berkeley Bowl is THE BEST, although Monterey Market is it's equal if smaller.

I like Michigan cherries also and especially with dark chocolate! I also love the Michigan maple syrup and always look for it. The cloths are definitely cheerful and look especially nice in a bundle. I'm not a dog person, but JoeBear is especially cute (I'm okay with small dogs), and photographs very well. Pictures of snow scenes always look like alien planets to me, and the colors are always so weird - but that might be from clouds. By my calculations, winter should be over in another week, since March is officially spring. I do remember being shocked at how drab New York was when I first went there in December. I love the blue foil paper too, if that's what it is! Lars

What a great swap! The boards are so beautiful, as are the cards. What a great gift, one that will be treasured for a long time! Anne do you sell your cards? If not, you really should!

Oh, Thank God it got there! I was sitting on pins and needles. I am glad you guys liked it, Kate. I am also glad everything got there safely. I will definitely try and mail earlier next time. I didn't realize everybody would get theirs sent out so fast. Lisa
