Bags, Tags and a trip to the Post Office

Just a quick post to tell you about my week so far.  My first ever internet order via my blog (thank you L) and the Harrogate Home & Gift Fair drawing near, made my thoughts turn to packaging.  As my work is all hand-made, I do like the idea of producing hand rendered tags and gift bags to compliment my accessories.


brown paper printed tags and hand painted doillies


indian block printed and stamped


I was happy with the outcome of the tags so as I had some lovely quality brown paper carrier bags I decorated one of them with my doilleys and made a matching tag.


 my first ever blog order- dip dyed and printed linen corsages x 2



a matching item

I made several different combinations, folded, centred, torn etc and decided on the design below.


the whole kit and caboodle!

and so - the corsages were tissued, labelled and tagged, placed in the carrier, jiffy bagged, addressed and taken to the Post Office.  They are winging their way to my lovely bloggy friend - hope she likes them!!

Have a lovely week, the sun is struggling to shine, let's hope the rain stays away.

    Fabulous corsages Jayne, I am sure someone is going to be very pleased when they open their parcel.
    With presentation like that too, I am sure Harrogate will be a great success.

    Hi, thanks for leaving a lovely comment on my blog. I nearly did the Harrogate Home and Gift Fair, but I'm not sure I could face another show just yet. I'm still recovering from the terrible show in June! Anyway I'm sure you'll do well because your work is stunning- be positive and enjoy yourself. You'll learn a lot from just attending the show.
    Have fun.
