about this time last year I joined a pay it forward from pink green, the idea being to promise a gift within a year if the recipient passed on the promise. I made little felt flowers, posted them off, and promptly forgot about it, so I was very delighted when this gorgeous little parcel landed on the doormat yesterday. A pin cushion, needle case, oh so pretty beaded keyring, and a tiny babuskha brooch. Thanks so much Cathy.
Also on the door mat were these labels
I've been dithering for MONTHS about whether to order some, and from which site, I liked these, but they were more expensive than the cash ones which I went for in the end. As for the colour choices, well they were endless - in fact that's another reason I went for the cash site, less choices - easier to make my mind up. Then there was the choice of font, text, logo or not, and then how many to order....... you can see why it took me so long. I'm quite pleased with them, but they're darker than I expected, I hadn't accounted for the fact that the blue thread would be solid on the back, and show through, and they're more mushroom than cream, but I've just had fun sewing one in a bag - show and tell tomorrow - when I might finally get round to finishing Lisa's tag, and join in with Nancy's shoe week.
I do love Cash's name tapes, always have!
ReplyDeleteI think your goodies and your tags are lovely. Never been to that Blog before - what a great idea for shoes - I might have to give it a go

The little babushka brooch is so cute!
ReplyDeleteYour labels look very professional - it feels so nice sewing them in to your handmade things!
Those labels are so stinking neat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful surprise for you, your little goodies are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI think your new name tags are quite spiffy!
Ooh, how professional! And that pincushion and Babushka are as cute as all get-out (as we say in these parts)!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet babushka and I love your labels, very smart.
ReplyDeleteThe gifts look really well made. I especially like the little babushka! I like the woven labels. I wouldn't of thought that the blue could be seen from the other side. It's a pity that you couldn't have a sample made up of all your choices before you decide on which one!
ReplyDeleteMmm, lovely tapes, and super little gift!
ReplyDeleteLooks exciting..................... there's something lovely about name tags................
