to your home....
I've brewed up a fresh batch of delicious, cinnamon-smelling, shabby, tea-stained, twill tape...they're bundled up and come with all sorts of extra goodies....there are a few available in my etsy shop.
You can find bare tea-stained, metal rimmed tags at Mish's etsy shop HERE.
My little one doesn't have school on Fridays...so my house is noisy, messy, and I am happy...my time is short, but before I go...
While I was soaking my twill in tea, I threw in mini envelopes, fabric, and tags....a beautiful, happy mess...this card uses one of the tea-stained envelopes, scrunched seam binding from Memrie Mare, Prima paper, vintage trim and button, a Maya Road trinket pin, Basic Grey and Melissa Frances rubons.
Happy October pumpkin lovers :) It's coolish here in the desert...lots of low clouds and a rainstorm on the horizon...sigh...be still my heart. We're making Autumn Chocolate Chip Cookies with fall m&m's today...maybe some pumpkin cranberry bread...perfect for October 1st.
Thanks for visiting.

Mmmm--sounds delicious! Love this time of the year! We had a torrential rainstorm yesterday and through the night. Made homemade chicken noodle soup and cornbread. Love your tea-stained goodies! Do you ever sell direct to customers or just through your Etsy shop?

Melis,
That is adorable...great packaging. I am seriously into dyeing everything in the house. I do tags with coffee and Haitian vanilla and then put a cinnamon stick in the bag. I also like to dye with koolaid (clothespins and tags) and I just got done dying napkins and lace in regular old Rit to make sachets for a swap. You have given me another idea...but I don't think I would be able to package it quite as beautifully! Oh, yes, I just did some silk flowers in coffee (the tips) and heard that Red Zinger makes a fabulous pink.
