Gift Wrapping

Today

 I found a wire basket,

 a tin box

 and 

some vintage linens

 to use for

 Christmas

 gift 
wrap.

I'm continuing to amass my ephemera:

book pages

sheet music

and some lovely items I must keep secret

until the family gift wrap competition is complete.

So much fun to use these

 timeworn and repurposed treasures

 to hold my little Christmas surprises!

There are so many sweet ways to wrap your gifts . . . 

think cloth:

antique pillowcases

crocheted tablecloth

burlap and twine

or,

containers:

woven baskets

reusable fabric totebags

wooden boxes

wire bins

or,

recycled boxes:

any kind, 

upholstered in fabric

or recycled papers,

tied with live evergreens and 

vintage Christmas ornaments

or old linens and laces

We're attempting to avoid the commercial

wrappings

and

 use what's on hand

and

 lovely 

and 

earth concious

and 

thoughtful

what fun!
