THANK YOU Messages from Recipients
Dear Good Fairies of Marin,
I'm employed as the Wellness Dept. Manager at Mollie Stone's Market in Greenbrae. Yesterday, 10/10, I was taken aback to see a basket and box full of hand painted ladybugs, bees, and other garden insects, along with the information about your organization. My words alone cannot fully express how much this means to ALL of us employed at Mollies. I'm teary eyed typing this message as I think of all the fantastic and caring people who created these beautiful works of art for us.
The time, and energy included, plus the warm messages on the bottoms of many is truly the best of human kindness.
I took several as there were plenty for all of us, and they have a wonderful new home as my guardians. Thank you on behalf of ALL Mollie Stone's employees.
Thank you for your kindness, generous spirits, and acknowledging us!
I will pay it forward, and each moment I look at my love bugs, I'll remember your organization and its wonderful people with happiness, gratitude and love.
Ellen Segale, Wellness Dept. Manager at Mollie Stone's Market
..Just thought you'd like to see where those wonderful Ladybugs ended up. Our employees really enjoyed choosing their own, and you can see by the pics they found a good home (there's much more, but those went home-home...)
Thank you for dropping these off. We could feel the love in that basket and it was much appreciated by all ♡

Greetings and salutations to the Good Fairies! On behalf of my fellow Good Earthlings, I would like to thank you, and all the artists, for all of the beautifully painted ladybugs! (They've brought a great deal of joy and inspiration to so many of us!). Thank you so much! Claire Granville, Floor Manager) Good Earth Natural Foods
