UICA Holiday Artists' Market
We had a great time at the Uptown Holiday Shop Hop. Kava House was a gracious host and we loved sharing the room with Woosah, Little Wings Designs, Bellini, and Adventure Textiles.
We'll be at the UICA Holiday Artists' Market this weekend (Dec 6th and 7th). This year it's being held at the Steelcase Town Hall on 44th Street in Grand Rapids. We're looking forward to seeing all of the other artists and makers and being able to show how easy it is to wrap presents with reusable gift wrap.
gift embellishments
there are many eco friendly ways to dress up a gift. pinterest is full of ideas. and so are sites like better homes and gardens and martha stewart. here are some of our favorites:
- from www.alittlecraftinyourday.com - paint sample card trees. these fun little trees are easy to make and add a bit of cleverness to your gift.
- chalk tags - available here. chalk boards are all the rage, and these tags are reusable!
- ornaments - add your own ornament to help match your gift to holiday.
- cookie cutters - add a little shine, a fun shape, and potentially something yummy to someone's life.
what do you like to use? are there sites that you've found that have great ideas? we've started a gift tags board on Pinterest. There are more great ideas there!
