Gift Wrap Alternative

A bunch of new bags were recently added to Pine Hill Forest, and I am in love!
I love the different combinations of fabrics combined with the unique felted brooches and zipper pulls.

It got me thinking about the various uses for the bags. There is the obvious pencil case, makeup bag, purse organizer, etc. But what about using them as an alternative to gift wrap? I would love to see one of these bags peeking out the top of a stocking with a pair of pretty socks inside, or a new set of markers for a child who loves to draw. The possibilities really are endless, and instead of throwing paper away afterwards you'd have a beautiful bag to keep using!

Here are some of the recent additions which I love:

Do you have a favorite?

Mine is definitely the Fresh Poppies Bag. I love the color combination, and the beautiful handmade felt zipper pull.

Flickr Favorites - Christmas Time is Here



The time has come to decorate for the holidays! I'm not really a huge Christmas decorator, but I enjoy putting up our tree and my collection of Nutcrackers.

This year I plan to tackle this as well. Pictures of our holiday decorations coming just as soon as I make my snowflake curtain! (That is, IF I can make it!) Wish me luck!

Oh, and I am totally making a button tree like picture number two! I love it!
