Wedding Burlap Gift Wrap

Another weekend, another Shower! This weekend it was a Bridal Shower.  I am one of those people who enjoy going to Showers,  they are happy occassions!  This bride to be is an eco loving science teacher, so I thought she would enjoy a more natural wrapping for her gift.

I used kraft paper made out of recycled materials, burlap, a doily and some reclaimed ribbon.

I added a simple brown tag and embellished it with a beautiful cluny lace heart that I found in a box of old ribbon my mother gave me.  My mother used to sew a lot and has passed a lot of her boxes of "treasurers" on to me now that she has retired her needle and thread.  

Oh, by the way - this bride recieved the most adorable Kate Spade china at her shower!! I believe there was some envy involved!   Don't you think that after 28 years or so of marriage we should all have another shower?
