Creative Case...

I love to present a present (one of the funny things about our English language) in a clever creative case. Here I used wool felt for the case. It is soft and protective and very friendly to sew with as no hemming is necessary. Embellished with lace around the top and sides. Now for the closure of this case. I used decorative small safety pins which I adorned with beads. Inside resides a pretty choker I handmade. This was wrapped with tissue and mailed in a padded envelope all the way across the country to it's new home. Thank you buyer for purchasing from my etsy shop. I hope you enjoyed the extra gift of this jewelry case. This type of packaging works for so many items. Then you also have a protective case for keeping your jewelry safe from scratches and tangles. A drawer full of these pretties and you will always smile when selecting what item to wear. How about a basket of these on the shelf? Or a tray of these on the counter. Just think of all the fun and pretty possibilities. What are your ideas? I am working on another case and will show it soon. Happy weekend to each of you...

    Oh dearest, thank you for coming to the beach with us yesterday! And you have the loveliest creations, always! Felt IS GREAT to work with and so many fun and colorful things can be done with it; my mother was wonderful at whipping up something cute for my dolls with felt. AND....yes, CHOCOLATE MUST BE ADDED TO THE FOOD PYRAMID as it's own category, and consumed DAILY! tteeheeee

    CHEERS! Anita

    Anything done with lace gets my vote. I love it...on everything it seems...even my lawn swing. This is a really cute idea.
