hands up who loves packaging . . .

Greetings all,

Oh goodie goodie, what do you do when your favourite twine supplier does wholesale paper bags too . . . order THE LOT!! 

Stripey bold colours on large paper bags.

 A cute pink bag with white 'frosting' yes please!!

 Tiny paper bags in zig zags, frosting, grid & note paper, gorgeous!!

 Anyone for polka dots??

 Of course, stickers to seal-the-deal.

 My original collection of colourful Divine Twine.

 Now they have new friends . . . in red, oyster, navy, lavender & airmail - red, white & blue stripes!!

 Something about twine en masse that makes my heart sing.

 The air mail collection - stickers, twine & red bags, love it!!

 A combination in black . . .

 or my favourite blues . . .

 pretty pinks for a princess party . . .

 cherry red, say no more.

 Or perhaps something earthy & orange with chick stickers??

 I'm playing around with some ideas & combinations for bags, stickers & twine for sale.

 Really simple & creative gift wrap ideas.

 Oh look at all these beautiful twines mixed up together.

Ah, so this is one way of being productive while having a break from the sewing machine.  I want to do up a bunch of these packs for Shop & my market stall, it's so much fun.  Oh i think i'll have to put together a giveaway of these packaging goodies to share the love of colour & fun . . . perfect for your next party, gift giving & craft supplies.  Love Posie

making a list & checking it twice

Greetings all,

Seeing a lot of last-minute-Christmas-wrapping-decorating-baking-shopping posts going on in blogland.  I'm almost there in the wrapping department, just double checking all the neices & nephews are covered & goodies express posted today (love prepaid bags!!)  I'll see many in Sydney after Christmas but some gorgeous pesky ones still have birthdays this week & require birthday gifts which i believe should be seperate & on-the-birth-day!!

 Thank goodness for handmade, for many reasons - handmade gifts are unique, original, special, beautiful & . . . hard to pick the price of (super handy for the how-much-did-my-sister-in-law-spend-on-my-child-this-year corporate types!!)

 Check out the detail, i love this Karin's work - designer Sum of Mum at Shop Handmade.  Our Health Minister bought some too, hope that hasn't spoilt her nephew & niece's gift surprise this year!!  Knowing zero of my family members read my blog, i know i'm safe.  

Have you ever seen such such realistic felt bananas in your life??!!  I'm hungry just looking at these, Sunday Brunch anyone??
So apart from the teenage nephews, are all getting a vintage Tshirt from America, i'm done, all sorted, just the wrapping & tagging to do.  Oh & a huge 196 piece patchwork quilt for a customer this week.  Sew sew sew.  Have happy weeks everyone, love Posie
