🌺🌸 FUROSHIKI GIFT WRAPPING 🌸🌺
~ Timeless, Ancient Traditions ~

Historically, Furoshiki are traditional Japanese wrapping cloths. The custom of wrapping items in cloth has been around for more than 1,300 years.
In modern times, Furoshiki is acknowledged as an eco-friendly way to wrap gifts. A graceful and refined gift presentation using a pretty scarf, handkerchief, or napkin which can be utilized again and again to wrap in Furoshiki style.

Here I took a simple, up cycled, white napkin and created a flower knot with pretty pink fabric flowers as an accent.

🔊🔊Coming very soon. 💫🌟💫

Just spent my morning at a fabulous AI workshop with a bunch of very smart ladies from Sheshopslocal.ca. Put on by Catherine Landry and Sue Hameed Mortgages it was incredibly informative. Here we are doing some networking with a great picture taken by Darpan Ahluwalia of Manotick Natural Market

🎁 Our gift wrapping is never random. It is done with intent and care with the recipient at the top of mind.
🎀 Each paper, ribbon choice and embellishment reflects their spirit. Every fold of paper carries the heart of those that give. 💝

👶 Do you know how children like to tear into their gifts? Like the world will come to an end if they don't get to the gift fast enough. I think this may slow them down a bit. 😇
The curly ribbon detail can come off easily and will give them something to play with or be a keepsake.

Coming in September.🍁

💗 Hello Everyone 💗
💁‍♀️ It has been a while since we chatted.
🔊I have a new announcement to make. 🆕

A door serendipitously opened up for me and I am taking a leap off the cliff again and will be launching a new business later this summer.
🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊

🎀🎁 I will be starting a mobile and in-studio gift wrap service. This will be phase one of my plans starting this September.

I will bring everything to you or you can drop off your gifts at my home studio in Orléans. Complimentary gift wrap, ribbon, bow, simple embellishments and gift tag are included.

I have a shell of a website up for you to bookmark and I will be making changes to this page over the next short while to reflect the new business.

🎀🎁 Stay tuned for a lot more. 🎁🎀
