Odds and Ends

I don't know about you but I love packaging, and I think that when it is done well, it really gives a good impression of a business or a gift giver. I've played around with packaging with my etsy shop and I think I have come up with a look that suits the over all look of the shop. When you receive one of my packages, it will be all dressed up just like the photos above. I love to coordinate the ribbon to the color of the garment that customer had purchased as well. It's fun for me.  Last week I ordered some ribbon from Midori Ribbon , and received it today wrapped up so beautifully. This makes me want to come back and buy more!  Such a nice surprise to see this. I felt as if I had given a gift to myself. I think more businesses should do this don't you?  While living in France a few years back, I was always impressed with how stores carefully and beautifully packaged your purchases. Even buying flowers for the home was a delight, because they would wrap them up  with beautiful ribbons and paper.

Do you have a favorite business that takes pride in their packaging?

If you are wondering what the ribbons are for.......more hats :)
