With the days whittling away before Christmas is here, I figured it was time to start wrapping... and oh what fun it was. I wanted to have a bit of vintage feel to the gifts this year. With my brown paper, music playing and a warm fire to accompany me, I got right to it.
ur pics always make me smile...and make me remember when sofie wasn't into everything and i could so something. ahhhhh. i am living vicariously through you...hope that's ok!
ReplyDeleteOk...you're cheating...that last one is a postcard.
ReplyDelete;-)
I love your pictures...now can I send you my stuff to wrap?
ReplyDeleteSO pretty!!! Warm and snuggly feeling too!!!
ReplyDeleteI did gift bags, I took the easy way out. I am glad someone has the patience for the gift wrap :)
ReplyDeleteThe packages look lovely - I will be wrapping in secret at my mom's in a few days - I'm not so excited about that part - but I love your gift tags - those are very funky!
ReplyDeletei love it! i did the same one year but used stamps of red and green and colored raffia to tie them off. looked like they came right out of 'little house on the prairie.' merry CHRISTmas!
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous! I love all of my wrappings to match or at least coordinate☺ Makes the tree look complete! Wrapping gifts...that's next on my to-do list☺
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute, I love it. I just did my presents last night, I went with a totally mod look :)
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, I used the same paper this year! Great pics!
ReplyDeleteI love them!
ReplyDeleteI love how your wrapping your gifts,they look great! The sad part is that the paper just gets ripped off, LOL.
ReplyDeleteooo oooo ooooo I totally love the look of that type of wrapping. rock on!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you wrapped your gifts! Simple yet elegant :) Awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics too!
that's beautiful! i love the tags. :)
ReplyDeletei like the brown paper...and the tags are lovely. i love wrapping presents!
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage look with brown paper! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteVery nice job! And also I think you're very clever, I never would've thought to take a picture of the stuff used to wrap presents, but they tell the story - I like 'em!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the paper. Here's a silly question: Where did you buy the paper? I have never bought brown paper for mailing.
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of "Favorite Things" from Sound of Music.
I love that vintage look...gorgeous! I've got to try that one year!!
ReplyDeleteoooh, i love teh brown paper with the red ribbons! love it!
ReplyDeletewow, your gift look beautiful. almost too good to open. beautiful photos once again.
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful! And your pictures capture that atmosphere of Christmas so well - all warm and fuzzy!
ReplyDeleteThe presents look great and your photography is fantastic! Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm looking forward to reading eveyone's Shiny Things poems!
ReplyDeleteWow you're efforts put me to shame!
ReplyDeleteI just bought my ribbon last night...always use ribbon and not bows. I need to get crackin' on my wrappin'!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so beautiful!! So comfy and cozy!!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are so pretty and your gifts are beautifully wrapped!
ReplyDeleteLove those shots! I like the look of brown paper. I did that a few years ago and used evergreen sprigs and raffia....might have to do that again. Your shots reminded me of how beautiful they were.
ReplyDeleteI love the way your presents look!! Gorgeous!! Im jealous! My wrapping leaves a lot to be desired!!
ReplyDeleteOh those look "picture" perfect! Seriously out of a magazine or something :)

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your SITS day!
Hi ya! Wow - it really has a very warm feel to it! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day to you! I was intrigued by a post farther down where you said you were now part of the auto industry and then found out you're in Michigan! I am as well, but from the west side of the state although my family is more the east side (my dad is part of the auto industry as well but I'm sure in a much different way since I doubt you're a factory worker.) =)
ReplyDeleteOh, those pictures are absolutely yummy... they make me want to sing...
ReplyDeletechesnuts roasting on an open fire/jack frost nipping at your nose...
Merry Christmas--and happy SITS day!
I love the wrapping. You are so creative. The last picture is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering when you would be featured! CONGRATS!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being FB! :) Have a great day!!
ReplyDeleteFirst...congrats on being featured SISta blog! The pics are beautiful and your blog is very inspiring....I must say, at my age...the one thing I dread the most now on getting prepared for Christmas is "wrapping"! :)
ReplyDeleteBut, maybe a glass of wine, some snacks and music would help me get "inspired"!
xo...deb

Beautiful pictures, they have a wonderful warmth to them. What camera and editing software (if any) do you use?
ReplyDeleteThe gifts look just lovely and so simplistic. LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the Christmas tree with the fire in the background. It does have a vintage feel.
ReplyDeleteI love this look you have going. And you angled photography really makes a dramatic picture.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YOUR VINTAGE LOOK! I AM USUALLY THROWING THE WRAPPING PAPER ON MINUTES BEFORE IT'S RIPPED OFF--YOU'VE INSPIRED ME! CONGRATS ON YOUR SITS DAY!

Such beauty in wrapping! I love the brown paper and have looked everywhere for something like that. Where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a picture of a Christmas tree more lovely. I want to live there.
ReplyDeleteOh you are beautifully creative. You would be embarrassed by my wrapping technique. I have been known to use aluminum foil in a pinch, and I once wrapped a present with Baby Shower paper for a Wedding Shower. Shameless... I know :).
