Malaysia

Meg's mother saw my promo for the magnet project at a craft event where I was set up selling ceramics. She said she would be more than willing to send a magnet with her daughter who was going to Malaysia to study sea turtles.  Much to my delight and surprise, I received this reply from Meg:

"Hello Nanci! An update on some magnets: My mom met you last summer (maybe in Celo?) and gave me some of your beautiful magnet tiles to bring with me to Malaysia where I have been living with a local family and studying turtle conservation for the past ten months.  As my time comes to a close, I have decided to give the magnets to my host family.  They will either use them as magnets or may incorporate them as tiles in part of their house.  It is great to have a handmade gift from my home to share with the people here who have opened their home to me so warmly.  Thanks!"
