Gift basket and stationary sets

December 21, 2005

Dscn0001_10

Roxy and I delivered the gift basket to Charlie’s office this morning. Here is what it contained:

-crackers and goat brie
-plates, napkins and some knives for spreading
-assorted fruits
-star sugar cookies with lemon icing
-orange pound cake with orange glaze
-spiced almonds
-pistachios and
-chocolate coins

The Rox was a big hit, as usual, especially since I put two little pink bows on her pigtails this morning.

On Monday I received some excellent mail including a new Japanese craft book and the package from Moki’s stationary swap (I promise some excellent photos of both later on). I was inspired to use my hand-carved stamp again, as well as another hand-carved stamp I made but didn’t use in the swap. I came up with these two little stationary sets.

The cards are a wonderful rag paper, about 2″ x 3″, perfect for a little note of gift tag, and come with their own little envelopes all tied up with string and a button.

Four cards per pack. These will go up on my shop today and more to come later.
