my creative space...

putting finishing touches on some more brooches...
 & putting this vintage gift wrap to good use, I'm using them in my gift cards...
I found this in the op shop, I wonder what special wedding gift came wrapped in this...I love that it has been so carefully stored for so long, how sentimental it must have been.  It's a bit sad that it has finally been dropped off in a box to the Salvos... 
I don't think this one is quite so old, but it sure is cute!
