This card is from a fellow "Postcard Friendship Friday" friend Sheila, of A Postcard A Day. She lives in England, but has a cottage in Berry.
She's my postcard blogging hero, as she never misses a day, seems to have an unending supply of interesting and unusual postcards, features some cool widgets (the map of the world showing where the postcards from her most recent 100 posts are from is one particularly good one), and, as of today, has 869 followers. Wow!
At Thanksgiving, Sheila made a comment on my post about how she "yearned to taste pumpkin pie. As we had exchanged a few postcards and I had her address, just for fun, I mailed her a box with all the ingredients needed to make a pumpkin pie, except the crust: a can of pumpkin (recipe on the back), evaporated milk, and a little bag of pre-measured spices. I assumed she would either know how to make or be able to buy a pie crust. Haven't heard yet if she's received the box and/or made the pie, but I do know she's been traveling. Can't wait to hear what she thinks!
P.S. Berry is a region in the dead center of France. The writer Balzac, author of "The Human Comedy" was from here. Berry was originally a province, until French provinces were reorganized into "departements" in 1790.

Mary! A mystery has been solved! My neighbour has the package. :) I will tell you the details by email, but thank you so very much for such a very kind thought. My mouth is watering in anticipation.
