I love packaging. It is my favorite part of shipping finds off to you and Christmas time gives many reasons to feed the packaging fetish. This year I have gathered various papers, twines and paper tags from my vintage collections to bring wrapping paper outside the box. What do you have lying around that would make fantastic wrapping paper or tags?
About ramonamorningbird
"Bestowed the middle name Ramona Morningbird by hippie-parents, treasure-hunter Hopi never predicted that her name would come to herald her passion. Yet in the morning, she slips away before dawn on a quest for vintage finds that embody the beautiful quirk of old-fashioned function. Charmed by the eclectic and wooed by utility, Miss Morningbird has idiosyncratic taste and a collection of antique industrial objects that have, over time, earned the distinction of sculptural art." - fab.com
