You'll have to order by phone or online, and pay extra for shipping, to get them here on time. Just give her the tennis bracelet, you cheapskate! Here's a link to another one. The pictures don't do them justice, but the illustrations on the seed packets and catalog are spectacular. This is the oldest seed company in America, in operation since 1784, and they are struggling to stay in business competing against the big boys, but the $5 catalog is well worth it. How many American companies do you know that are aver 225 years old? Here is a link that might be useful: Landreth Seed Co.

Hi-- all I just wanted to apoligize for not posting/ getting my package out on time and not communicating well. Tina - I'm so glad your DH is doing better! It's heartwarming to know that love like yours lives today. I vow to stay off the trades for a while as I think I've bitten off too much for me to chew for a while. My apoligies to snyder and gardeningmom - I've been sick with morning sickness, had to leave my job, when I signed up for the trade I thought it would be over by the time the trade began and as it turns out I'm one of the lucky 10-20% who have it for the duration of the pregnancy. Anyway, it's kind of thrown me for a loop along with all the normal chaos of life. I feel just awful for being a bad trader -- I did send -- but not like I normally would (on time, etc.) no more swaps for me for a while - as I don't like to keep you all waiting and wondering. Snyder thanks again for the wonderful package- I'm sorry for not acknowledging you publicly here on the board until just now. Thanks to all my gardening friends and please accept my apoligies for the lateness, and troubles communicating. Hope to trade with you all soon again - once life isn't so chaotic.

Hi, Just wanted to let my Valentine's Day Pal know that I got my package yesterday and I am amazed at all the cool stuff she included! Wow! Thank you so much! There was a little box of chocolates, a box of Necco sweethearts candy and a little pink bear holding a rose in its teeth. Also a really lovely feng shui candle set, a cute little necklace shaped like a leopard-print thong (the kind you wear on your feet!) and a bunch of wonderful seeds, can't wait to see what grows! A cute little book about cats, some vanilla tea, a bag of lovely-smelling potpourri, a Hallmark pocket calendar, and a cute little lovebug encased in lucite. What a great package. Thank you so much to veeja11, my Secret Valentine!
