This Amendment No. 11 amends the Schedule 13D, as previously amended, filed by Ellen B. Farber (f/k/a Ellen B. Kurtzman), Delv, L.P. (the “Partnership”), Trust FBO Ellen B. Farber under The 2002 Farber Children’s Trusts dated December 12, 2002 (the “EBF Trust”), Trust FBO David M. Farber under The 2002 Farber Children’s Trusts dated December 12, 2002 (the “DMF Trust,” and together with the EBF Trust, the “Children’s Trusts”), and BLK Investments L.P. (“BLK Investments”) with respect to the common stock, par value $.10 per share (“Common Stock”) of CSS Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CSS”).
Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Ellen B. Farber may be deemed to beneficially own 612,793 shares of Common Stock (6.3 percent of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of CSS, based upon information provided by CSS in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 indicating that 9,668,306 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding on January 26, 2010). She has sole voting and investment power with regard to all of such shares, described as follows:
  •   83,667 shares of Common Stock owned directly.
 
  •   331,292 shares of Common Stock (3.4 percent of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of CSS) owned by the Partnership. Ellen B. Farber exercises voting and investment power over these shares through Delv, Inc. (the “General Partner”), a Delaware corporation and general partner of the Partnership, which has the sole voting and investment power with regard to the shares of Common Stock owned by the Partnership. One-half of the outstanding common stock of the General Partner is held by each of the Children’s Trusts, for which Ellen B. Farber serves as sole trustee. As a result, the Children’s Trusts may be deemed to have shared voting and investment power with regard to the 331,292 shares held by the Partnership. Ellen B. Farber also is the sole director of the General Partner and serves as the President, Secretary and Treasurer of the General Partner. In that capacity, Ellen B. Farber has the power to act on behalf of the General Partner to vote and dispose of shares held by the Partnership. The General Partner holds a 0.1 percent interest in the Partnership, and the remaining 99.9 percent interest in the Partnership is owned by the 2003 Farber Family Trust (the “2003 Trust”), of which Ellen B. Farber is the sole trustee. Because the limited partners of the Partnership, in their capacity as limited partners, do not have power to vote or dispose of the shares of Common Stock held by the Partnership, the 2003 Trust is not deemed to have voting or investment power with respect to the Common Stock held by the Partnership. The 2003 Trust does not otherwise have voting or investment power with respect to any shares of Common Stock.
 
  •   66,457 shares of Common Stock (0.7 percent of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of CSS) owned by BLK Investments. Ellen B. Farber exercises voting and investment power over these shares through the EBF Trust, the general partner of BLK Investments, which has the sole voting and investment power with regard to the shares of Common Stock owned by BLK Investments. Ellen B. Farber is the sole trustee of the EBF Trust, and in that capacity, Ellen B. Farber has the power to act on behalf of the EBF Trust, in its capacity as the general partner of BLK Investments, to vote and dispose of shares held by BLK Investments.

Ellen B. Farber may also be deemed to have sole voting and investment power with respect to 131,377 shares held by the Farber Family Foundation, Inc., a charitable foundation (the “Farber Family Foundation”). Ellen B. Farber, Jack Farber, her father, Vivian Farber, her mother, and David M. Farber, her brother, are members, officers and directors of the Farber Family Foundation. However, only Ellen B. Farber has authority to exercise voting and investment power with respect to shares of Common Stock currently held by the Farber Family Foundation. As a matter of policy, the Farber Family Foundation does not vote the shares of Common Stock that it owns. Ellen B. Farber disclaims any beneficial ownership in the shares held by the Farber Family Foundation.
In addition, subsequent to the filing date of Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D, the Partnership sold an aggregate of 260,926 shares of Common Stock as follows:
