SHOP NEWS :: ANTIQUE FLORAL STATIONERY

I'm really excited for this new collection of party stationery I've just added to my shop. You might remember seeing it in action on these DIY gift bags.

The standard of what I put in my shop has to pass the "would I use it myself?" bench mark, and this Antique Floral design passes with flying colors! I think they're perfect for a birthday, kitchen tea, bridal or baby shower... I'm looking forward to seeing what events you use these designs for!
I originally designed this for a friend in Australia as a parting gift, so that her next birthday without me physically there would still have a little bit of me in it.
I printed all the items out and put together a party pack for her. (Anything packaged in a box looks more appealing to me!)
Have you ever sent a friend a party in a box for a celebration of some kind? Graduation, shower, birthday, anniversary...wouldnt it be fun to open that box and know someone was thinking of you? Its something I'd really like to make more time and do more often!

 Find this new collection for you or a friend in the shop!

TWINE BALLS :: TWINERY BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY

Hello and welcome if you came here from Katrina and are stopping by on Day three of The Twinery "blog hop"!

.......................................................

I have had an idea in my head for a while with this gorgeous twine, and that is to create those starched string balls you probably made in primary school. Remember doing that with wool and a big balloon? I'm sure teachers loved cleaning up after that art class!

I wanted to do miniature versions so I used water balloons to get a small round shape. I wrapped each with twine that had been dipped in PVA glue and then hung to dry. Once dry and the balloon was popped, you have these firm little twine balls. Cute and mini right?

I thought they would make great present toppers for a gift box. Think of the colour combos you could do for a themed party...or Christmas garland, or birthdays!
I don't know about you, but those lovely twine colours just say "Party" to me!

Your next stop on the hop is Jessica...thanks for stopping by and hope to you see you around again soon!
