packaging...

Here is a photo of my shop packing for itsbella. I love making the coffee stained tags and embellishing them with vintage fabric. I then use whatever thread I have laying around, vintage sewing paper, and a doily with a hand written note.

...lots and lots of vintage thread! in the shop now...

Packaging

I think that creating product packaging can be a very fulfilling and fun! This is my step by step process for packaging my vintage clothing and lingerie from my shop. I start with a hand tea stained tag, add Its Bella in vintage type writer letters and glue on a piece of tattered lace. After the tag is finished, I take vintage sewing pattern paper and carefully wrap the garment. After wrapping, I add a gathering of vintage green sewing thread in a pretty bow. Add the tag and its done!

I just had to share these great mixed media paintings by Mimilove. I first read about them on the blog: Modish. They truly capture the viewer and take them into another world. I love the colors and the texture and the way they work so seamlessly together. I want one!
