Hostess Gifts

Told ya -- wedding stuff. Seven lovely ladies threw a bridal shower for me a couple weeks ago. These are the gifts I gave each of them. There's a votive candle holder with beaded ribbon trim, a red toile lavender sachet, and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. :-) They all came in a Chinese take out boxes I found at Michael's.

I made this jewelry holder at the request of my former roommate. It was a first attempt, and I think I could improve on it. I might try one of these days. It has canvas flaps for earrings, plastic rings to string necklaces and bracelets through, and a zippered pouch for odds and ends. It hangs, and also rolls up for travel. I'm pretty proud of it, but it could definitely be better.
