From Brides and Grooms
Hi Lucy,

I wanted to sincerely thank you for the butterflies you sent us for the wedding.
They were incredible!!!

The arrived with plenty of time, and we kept them cool the day leading up to the wedding.

We tested one out about an hour before the ceremony and it worked perfectly. We had 3 left for the ceremony, and the 2 we opened during the ceremony worked beautifully!!!
The last one, we opened during pictures and it actually sat right on my bouquet and made for some beautiful shots!!

I cannot thank you enough for sending me the butterflies. They helped to make our ceremony absolutely beautiful and really added something to make it unique as well. Everyone loved it!!

As well, butterflies mean something special to both my mom and I, so we will never forget that they were a part of my wedding day :)

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the butterflies!!!!

I will send you a picture once I get them from our photographer- we are still waiting for our pictures (we might be waiting a while yet), but I will be sure to send one, once we get them.

Thank you again!!!!
Melissa and Ian


Lucy,
Just wanted to Thank you once again for delivering the butterflies for our special day.  I’m happy to report that ALL the butterflies survived the drive and being in my care!  The weather held out and it was gorgeous.  All the wedding party and kids we had participate LOVED it and most of the butterflies stuck around to have their pictures taken.

Most people we had at the wedding hadn't seen this before either which was nice to have something 'original.'  I have attached a picture of the butterfly on my bouquet.

Thank you again!!

Hi Lucy,

Everything went beautifully at the wedding. The day was sunny, the sky was blue, my daughter-in-law looked absolutely gorgeous, my son looked very handsome and all the arrangements went by without a hitch. The butterflies survived. Everyone was very impressed with the monarchs. I will send some pictures when the photographer sends them to us in about 6 weeks.

Thanks you again so much for driving down to Ottawa. That was a very generous, wonderful thing that you did and I won't forget it.  I will be seeing my monarch teacher connection this weekend and I will pass on information about your butterfly farm to her.

Thanks again and I was so glad to have met you. I'll be in touch again.

From Teachers:

Hi Lucy,
The raising butterfly experience went so well!  We were able to release the butterflies last week.  What an exciting day that was!  The students enjoyed the process immensely and they really developed in their understanding of life cycles.
Thank you,

Hi Lucy;

I just wanted to let you know that our Butterfly raising was a huge success!!!  The kids loved seeing the caterpillars grow from "speck-sized" to their full size, pupate and then emerge from their cocoons.  You can just imagine the excitement as whenever they checked the net cage, there was a new butterfly to greet them.
The hamper worked out great, as they were able to see them from all sides and the butterflies had some room to move around too.  We released them this past Friday, with the help of the kindergarten class, and everyone was amazed at being able to see them so closely.
Thank you again for all you help with this project.  It was fabulous and I will definitely be passing your card around to other classes who may want to undertake this project next spring.
Sincerely,
Nicole

Hi Lucy,
The butterflies were a really big hit.  We turned the release into a school event. 
Thank you very much,

Butterflies for Memorial Services

Hi Lucy,

Just wanted to thank you so much for the beautiful butterflies! They were so lovely and we all enjoyed releasing them in the rose garden. Everyone said to say thank you.

The representative at the Cemetery who helped us on Saturday thought the butterflies were a wonderful idea and had never seen them used before. I told her about you and she said she'd be pleased to refer you to families making arrangments.
