this morning....



The morning has been filled with cutting, sewing and tying together more pretty little paper treats... now available at the wonderful Enchanted Closet in Victoria. These garlands are en route as we speak and should arrive safe and sound at Kate and Mia's beautiful store shortly. A special order is also being made for a spring wedding coming up in August, the very sweet bride to be has invited me along to her sweet ceremony and I just can't wait to see the garlands strutting their stuff:)

Every time I make more heart garlands I just can't help but take photos - they always look so pretty!
I got a little surprise today when I opened the hole punch to an outpouring of tiny little paper offcuts - I am thinking confetti packs?? What a great way to ensure no wastage... What do you think?

I think the confetti packs would be just perfect if the heart garlands are featured in the wedding. A lovely little tie in!

Oh, I love everything about this post! Those garlands are too sweet, and confetti packs! Lovely.

Alarna, mind telling me where you got that fabulous crocheted doily, featured under the coffee cup in some of your sidebar photos? It's darling.

On the second look at them, they look like a lot of work... u must have perfected your cutting skills. do you break a lot during the process? PAPERCUT!

Little Jane St said...

Hi everyone:) Thanks for popping in to give me some feedback. Much appreciated!

Danielle, I look forward to making you some for your lovely wedding:)

Helen - I picked up the doily at a second hand shop. I can't remember where exactly, sorry. It is particularly petite and off white which is very nice.

I am glad the garlands arrived safe and sound Kate! Hope they continue to sell well:)

Hi Kat! They are quite time consuming... I like to decide on which part of the paper I cut out to enhance the designs, it is the fun part:) no paper cut yet - touch wood!!

Enjoy your week all:)
