Another week comes to a close, i feel like i'm almost back to my old self again. Thanks for all the sweetness about my lolly post. I really love re-using things instead of purchasing. It's very satisfying.
Something else that's satisfying is that i managed to package up some tea time treat boxes. It has certainly been established that i'm a big fan of packaging. It's something i do, and have done since high school. Because i buy so many packaging supplies, i'm always looking for new ways and inspiration to package my gifts or products. I couldn't resist sharing it here with you.
These are some of the loveliness i used in these packages. The lovely "Tea for Two" cotton tape is made by a talented friend, Anna, of lillalotta. She makes the most yummie cotton tapes ever! I bought these lovely frost lace bags from a local craft shop and the screen prints hand silk-screened little notes are made by Hambly Screenprints. They have a wide selection of gorgeous screen prints from wall declas to gorgeous papers, rub-ons and stickers!
Lucky for me, my sister found/bought me a "second hand" sealer {it has only been used just a few times}! Now, i have a new packaging partner, Mr friendly sealer, to provide me some packaging solution! Nice eh? I think i'll be trying heart-shaped coffee-time treat boxes down the road {for coffee lovers out there}. I'll let you know how it goes.
I'm looking forward to work on my new Button iCase/iCozy project {for iPhone}, enjoy some quality time relaxing at home in my comfy lounge pants and soup making. Here's to a sweet mother's day weekend, dear friends!
Lots of love to you and your lovely mama.
wooohooo your packaging is adorable. the glassine bags are very decorative. they are my ultimate favorite packaging bags. well done, cutie :-)
