Packaging and patterns

As the time draws near for the two craft events I have coming up I now put my efforts into packaging and craft display set-ups.
Today I block printed my paper bags that I will be putting the  larger item`s into when they`re sold.


Ive finished all the wrapping paper so I can now do these - its just a nice touch and useful to cart your goodies off in.
 Im also making loads of little  itemised pricing tags as well as paper sleeves for the  tea towels. One thing Ive learnt with events is the importance of presentation.
The last few details for my display will include a large tablecloth I want to block print with lots of cherry blossom for the stand as well as a couple of hanging racks. This week will be busy!

And finally a new special Christmas hamper intended for the Tate event which I actually love more than any of my other pattern. The gorgeous deep chocolate brown of the linen was perfect to print burnt orange and fuschia pink orchids on. This is the basic sewn hamper, tomorrow I will put in the grommets and  leather handles. Definately my favourite pattern and colour combination. So much so Ive made some scarves too!
