In the Mail

I made a few (very few) treat bags for Valentine's.

Conversation hearts with Spanish writing.

Shiny Cardboard hearts from Swan and Shears.

Scalloped Corrugated paper, pink tag, heart, and staples all from Swan and Shears.

Wish tickets I had on hand from long ago when 100 Wishes was still in business.

Scissors punch from Jo-Ann Fabrics.

Red/white striped bowl from Swan and Shears.

Add another red heart and...

...tuck it all into a clear bag and fasten with a cute little fastener from Swan and Shears.

This bag of valentines is on it's way to France!!

Leftover candy made a fun but very short-lived centerpiece on the dining room table.

Did you get any fun Valentine's in the mail this year??

Swan and Shears Goodies

 I recently purchased some things from McMaster and Storm's Etsy shop, Swan and Shears.  I very much miss their brick and mortar shop they had in Greenville for several years.  I very much understand the reason for closing and going to online only but I still miss it.  I'm hopeful that they may set up pop-up shops now and then sometime in the future.  Till then I must be satisfied with browsing their online shops!

Their packaging is just so fun.  I don't know of a store in the area that does this fun of a packaging job:)  Thank you Kara!!

Vintage ribbon

Kara added a couple old apothecary jars from the recent school auction we both attended.

old price tags and a vintage tape measure

Vintage ice cream cups.  Little Sister tried to claim these as hers.  I should probably buy some more so I have enough to share with her:)

Penmanship scale.  Not sure what I'm going to do with this but I really liked it and will come up with something fun to do with it eventually.

These are the coolest note cards.  They have instructions on them for how to make a paper air plane.  VERY cute:)

I used the vintage tape measure to wrap around the long stem I made for my crepe paper flowers.
