Welcome to The Latest Version!
A podcast about change, growth, and reinvention. I'm your host, Betsy Busy! Like a lot of you, there was a moment after my youngest child went off to college when I had to ask myself a tough question: What now?
My answer was to go back to school and become an Ivy-League graduate and now this is my latest version: a podcaster!
My goal for this podcast is to help you figure out your latest version. Is it revisiting an early passion or going off in a completely new direction?
On this show, you'll hear from smart, talented, energetic women just like you! These women are reinventing themselves both professionally and personally and together we'll be exploring the missteps, the triumph, and the advice they have for others on the path to reinvention.

I grew up with this wonderful decoration and I Admiral this handcraft a lot. So wonderful, that it still exists.
What a great episode! Thank you for sharing all this knowledge. As a new collector of German nutcrackers, I wish I learned about them back when you were still selling them.
This looks like just the place I would love to visit. My wife and I just received an authentic German built pyramid as a Christmas present from our daughter and her boyfriend. It is now a cherished addition to our Christmas décor.
Wow the Stars are Herenhuter Stars and the chines copy chip ones from plastic ho don’t last long!Its bad if you know you so called Friend is steeling all the Traditions what belong to us alone! It makes them look bad and everyone knows not to trust them with anything ☝️☝️😲😲👍👍👍 ask in your Apotheke/ drugstore if the drugs come from China,don’t gat them!
No Chinese can copy the Beautiful 🌲 and all the Traditional Details!
The Pyramids are beautiful if they have some bigger animals and you can see them,and for sure they Need lights and if possible mechanical because candle can burn the Wood easily 😲😲🤷♀️🤷♀️😍😍💜💜👍👍🌹
Angels are the Women ho are holding the Family together 😮😮☝️☝️🤷♀️🤷♀️👍👍
Wenn Du ein Stück besitzt ist’s Licht und Wonder puts you back us you where a child!!
It’s a old movie but it’s wonder a Miracle! Beautiful Hand worke,where Chinese like there Slice out off that but they chip and have problems!Its ugly to steel Traditions!! And no one says anything 😢😢😢😮😮
░p░r░o░m░o░s░m░
Nice vid. I love the traditional German and Italian Christmas toys. Not to mention cake & candy.
Thanks so much Gary.
Still inventing new chapters.
You present beautifully on television! You appear quite natural, engaging, and very much at ease. I hadn't realized The Nutcracker ballet wasn't performed in the US until 1944, and I thought the Nutcracker tradition itself was much older. How wonderful that you brought this information to light; such fascinating history behind your beautiful Nutcracker collection!
Thank you Lisa!
I would love to know what issue of Country Living you and the nutcrackers you were featured in.
So sorry to be getting back to you just now, Mr Ampersand78! My On the Road feature on Seiffen was in the December 1999 issue of Country Living. I was also quoted in the December 2001 issue, which featured many nutcrackers from my own collection. That issue also featured the limited edition Ivory Jacket Fuechtner nutcracker that I talked about in the podcast. Thanks for watching!!
So happy to see you talking about these marvelous works of art again, Betsy. I bought a red Turk (KWO) from you as you were closing up, but also many others during your early 90's business, including the limited edition Santa you commissioned (I think through Mueller). Great video!
Hey Rich, thanks so much for watching and commenting. So great to hear from a valued customer. Happy New Year.
Can't believe I did this 20 years ago! So happy to be sharing this with a wider audience.
Thank you for your service 🎄⭐️
Thank you for posting this!
So great to relive this moment. Thank you Martha!
Lara is a such a gem, radiating wisdom gleaned from her life’s path. Everything she says resonates deeply. Thanks for this wonderful interview.
