Ahh, a busy, busy day right out of a Richard Scarry story - minus the pickle cars and banana mobiles :) I've been running all over town trying to gather everything I need in order to properly package my very first orders. I think I have everything under control now, other than the fact that I realized rather late that today is Presidents' Day and the post office isn't open! Oh well, at least everything will be in perfect order in the morning to be shipped.I decided I want to pretty up all of my packages before sending them, since there's nothing more exciting than opening up a present - even if it is from yourself :) I also want to maintain that vintage look, though. So, I got some kraft paper, pretty ribbon and made my own tags. I'm rather pleased with the results!
What do you think? It's not perfect, but I like the brown paper (it reminds me of old-fashioned butcher paper) and I love the ribbon (who doesn't like shiny ribbon??). The tags need some work, but they were the best I could come up with at such short notice - I wasn't expecting to make any sales yet! I thought the tag could function rather like a business card, with my shop name and maybe my e-mail address; I also thought it may be less pushy. Any thoughts? What would you prefer? A tag? or a business card? or both?
Well, my sister and nephew are on their way over, and she and I are going to cook dinner together, so I'd better go. I hope you have a Marvelous Monday!!
