A Quick Wrap

    Thanksgiving morning I was getting ready to go to my sister-in-laws for dinner, when I realized that I had forgot to purchased something to fancy up the two bottles of wine I was bringing as a gift.  So I had to improvise, and this is what I came up with.


In my search for something to use as wrapping I came across these new tea towels that I had left over when I closed my shop. 


Some jute twine and  silvery bells and I had those bottles all wrapped up!!!

The third bottle is my gift for my early evening dinner with more family. Yes, I had TWO Thanksgiving dinners!!!


 Here's a quick peek at my French Limoges casserole dish holding some pretty glittered pine cones and vintage glass ornaments and tree topper. The metal candle holder is the perfect size to fit the base of the dish so I don't have to worry about it being tipsy. Just doing small vignettes this year instead of a tree.


Thanks for popping in~~~

    1. No, not exactly nearby, I'm about five and half hours south on the coast, as the bird fly's...about 4 miles from the ocean. Thanks for visiting;~) Mickie

    1. Thank you for visiting! I don't think I'll ever use a wine bag again. I like that this is a gift in a gift and you can glam it up however you like;~) Mickie

  7. I so love how you improvised! I think it's better than a store-bought wine bag for sure! Love the bell ornament as embellishment, it's a nice touch. Thanks for linking up over at Vintage Charm. We hope you'll join us again for this week's party starting on Thursday morning. xokathleen
