Remember the doily secret I promised to reveal after Xmas?
Well, Xmas has been and gone. I hope you had a perfectly beautiful one. AND the gifts have been given away so now I can show you just what I did with these. First I lovingly grew some herbs in my garden. Then I harvested them, dried them and stored them in recycled Coffee jars. I have a bit of a soft spot for these jars, they come in all sizes and are most useful. I decorated the jars with some pretty stickers and made some labels.....then, I popped a doily on top to make it pretty.......and tied it with a ribbon...
I popped in a little herb strainer.......Gemma added a little ribbon to this too. ;-)
Then I put it in a pretty box and added a floral headband and some pearl and flower bracelets.....
It looked very pretty, don't you think?
Next I wrapped it all up in cellophane and tied it with some curly ribbon.
This gift was for my oldest daughter, Ashlee. SHE LOVED IT!!!!! Phew And I had so much fun putting it together. Now I just have to convince her to actually open it and use it. LOL She did not want to undo all the prettiness.
Have a great day all.
Hugs and smoochies xoxoxox
Karisma, I love the coffee jars. What a neat idea. I hope you have a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea! Everyone needs herbs. Cute how you got to dress up the jars further w/the crocheted doilies.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift! I'm assuming that Ashelee knows what to do with those herbs (being your daughter). I went more the homemade route this year with great success!
ReplyDeleteLove the doilies!
ReplyDeleteWhat a special gift. Lovely!
