Holiday Packages


I'm honored to have been featured over at Shabby Tea Party! BettyJean is starting a fun new linky party for the holiday season to show off our Best Dressed Gift Packaging! Hop on over for the details. It starts right away!





My vintage mug style tea cup has no mark, but looks French to me! I've paired it with an orphaned saucer.





The wrapping always begins before Thanksgiving for sending on packages with visiting family.



And then it goes on sometimes past midnight on Christmas Eve!






May as well make yourself comfortable, and well fortified!








I hope the fun has started for you!
 Hope your holiday week goes well!
Ciao! for now!

  2. Oh those pretty packages are sooo lovely! Thank you for the heads up on the party too! This surely gets me in the mood to decorate for the season...now if only I could do things in advance vs. waiting for the last minute! :)


    Hugs,

  3. The package with the lace is beautiful! Yeah, this is one party I won't be attending. Or at least not to be a participant. I'm a terrible package wrapper. I'm so bad, my daughter took over when she was 12. Now *her* wrapping is wonderful. Creative, pretty. Mine still stinks and since she's one her own now everybody knows when a gift is from me. LOL

  8. Your blog is just so beautiful, from the moment I click through to it right to the end - all the gorgeous pictures of the gorgeous things. Love your teacup and so glad that orphaned saucer found a home :) Your packages are gorgeous!!! I'd love to get a box like that, and no I wouldn't open it, just sit and look at it forever. Thanks for sharing all the beauty with us lucky readers.

  11. Jacqueline, your tea cup is gorgeous and looks like a perfect fit to the oprhaned saucer. Your packages looks stunning. Presentation is everything! ;-)
    Smart to start at Thanksgiving and send them home with visitors rather than having to mail them.
    Happy Holidays, my friend! ~ sarah

  20. I would have bought those wonderful thick linens, too. I don't ever find nice ones like that here. Love all your vintage goods and that apron is beautiful. I hope you have the best Thanksgiving.

  21. Wrapping gifts is not something I do well, I have good intentions but lack creativity.
    You have shown some very pretty packages and the tea cup would be a delight to sip from.
