How Old Are You Now?

Today is Mr. Original's birthday. He's an old man. I wanted to show you how I wrapped up one of his presents because I think it looks pretty swell. Can't tell you what's inside ... a certain someone might be snooping. The paper is made by Cavallini and it's in a muted {and fairly masculine} color palette. I topped it off with brown satin ribbon.

P.S. The trick to a good wrapping job, as I learned in retail, is double-sided tape.

P.P.S. I have some junk shop finds to show you tomorrow. Off to bake a loaf of banana bread for the one I love.

  1. You are an amazing wrapper! I have some sort of problem with double sided tape and it seems to stick to everything except the package. My fingers, my hair, the carpet, etc.

  2. Rachel: Thank you! Many years of working in gift shops have served me well. I thought double-sided tape would be disastrous, but my most recent employer insisted upon it, so I had to teach myself. Some packages turn out better than others ;)
