We thought it was lost

"Did you get the package?" My wonderful mother-in-law asked when we called her Christmas day.

We hadn't.

The French mail system has been privatized and since then the new delivery people have been great in getting stuff in a mail box, just not a mail box that carries any relation to the address.

However, when we went to the "nest" the studio on the top floor of the building next door and the address she uses, we found the box under the publicity stack that our neighbour had put to one side.

At 91 my mother-in-law, belle-mère (pretty mother in French which doesn't lend itself to mother-in-law jokes) creates wonderful quilts and even teaches other.

This will truly be a treasure.
