Well... as I opened up the blog to begin writing this entry, the view outside looked like a bright "Spring" day, but as soon as I began typing, the clouds came over and the idea of Spring is once again, pushed away.
Being in the thick of winter, sometimes you can find yourself in a little bit of a stinky funk. The type of stinky funk that rains on your normal happy parade full of energy, inspiration and all things happy. I love winter, I love the cooler weather, wearing knits, snuggling under warm blankets with my kitty and sipping cup after cup of tea.
But I am well and truly ready for Spring and all the goodness it brings.
The new.
The fresh.
The bright.
As I wrap up some orders from this weekend, I notice my own colour palate has begun to change - bold snaps of hot pink and sun-shining yellow have drawn me towards them, leaving the muted grey and brown tones behind.
Change is coming... bring it!
Happy Sunday everyone x
This year I opted to turn away from the glittery goodness of Christmas wrapping and went for a more wholesome approach, channeling the wrapping style that I use for That Vintage purchases.
A roll of brown kraft paper, paper doilies, twine and yarn plus some very sweet gift tags that I picked up from kikki.k on the recent trip to Sydney.
I love it when I hear people say: "It is too beautiful to unwrap!" - a comment like that validates the extra time I spend on wrapping!
The beauty of selling online means that the good old snail-mail system is still used.
When I returned home from holiday last night, my desk was covered in packages and boxes from all around the world - it was like Christmas!
I am now offering complimentary handmade gift tags for orders that are destined as gifts - so if you are about to purchase a piece of That Vintage for a friends' birthday or a 'just-because' gift - then be sure to let me know and I'll include a gift tag!
I had such fun making these... I love stamps!
