Ornament/Package Topper Sale 2014!

Vintage Santas Collection

The Ornament/Package Topper Sale 2014 is finally here!

My Ornament/Package Toppers have been a big hit with my customers for many years.

You can find the Ornament/Package Toppers on sale in the ORNAMENTS SECTION of my Etsy Store.  They are easy to purchase!  Just click to buy.

This is just the beginning. I'll be adding more collections to my Etsy store in the next week or two.

I take a cotton print with a Christmas, Jewish or animal theme, stuff them with a polyester fiber fill and add a hanging ribbon. I add a teaspoon or two of my special lavender and peppermint sachet mix to make them smell wonderful.

You can hang them on your tree, curtain rods or to decorate the top of a package. They are child friendly, and perfect to hang on the lower tree branches. They also make wonderful gift sets.

Every Ornament/Package Topper comes with it's own tag.

Order $20.00 or more in Ornament/Package Toppers and get your shipping refunded. US orders only.

Ornament/Package Toppers will be available at my Etsy Store for the next four months.

Here's a sampling of what's available now:

The Perfect Bobbin Box (or Tray)

I recently dropped my bobbin tray and
had to organize it, which prompted this post.

I searched for many years trying to find a bobbin box that would hold all my bobbins in the same place. I finally stumbled upon a solution. The answer is simple and inexpensive, if you know where to look.
I found this little plastic tray that fits bobbins!

I have a separate tray for each of my sewing machines. I also take the time to write the thread color number in permanent marker on the bobbin.

I found this great plastic tray inside a specific brand/type of cigar box:
 LA GLORIA CUBANA, Glorias en Cedros

All you need to do is shop cigar shops and ask them if they carry this specific cigar. If they do, ask them to save that cigar box with the tray, for you.

Inside the La Gloria Cubana box.

This type of cigar comes in a 7 per box and 14 per box (double tray). Happy cigar box hunting!
