I’m writing this post from my favorite little cafe in Richmond..we are FINALLY moved into the new house (but STILL not done painting..)..and won’t have internet there for a whole WEEK..definitely annoying, but not all bad..I could sit in a cafe all afternoon with a cup of coffee and internet access and be perfectly content..and at least here I don’t have to feel guilty for not taking breaks to unpack!

Today I wanted to share a peek at my current packaging for sending off pictures to clients! I’m sure I will continue to change it as I grow, but I really love it right now!…I LOVE receiving and giving a gift in a pretty package..I feel like it makes what’s inside even more special!..so I started brainstorming pretty packaging ideas a long time ago back when I was creating a brand board on pinterest and my brand started to come together…I knew I wanted to incorporate a doily somewhere since that’s what inspired my logo, and I knew it needed blue striped ribbon, some aspect of linen to match my blog background, something PEACH, and some lace! I also wanted it to have a very homemade feel…So I started collecting different elements and eventually was able to tie it all together to create a cohesive little gift that reflects my branding and the things I love so well!

When I got my little flash drive from Katelyn James with my wedding images on it..I KNEW right away that I had to have them for my future business…so I ordered these cute little things from Flashbay back in May and have been so happy with them!! I tie a little striped ribbon on it, put it in a mini linen drawstring bag, and pack it in a box with some lace!

Then I wrap it…(I found these little doilies on clearance at Jo-Ann’s!)..

…and put it in a bigger box with some navy fabric to mail it!

I also add an extra little surprise gift..

The MOMENT I got my logo back from my designer I went online and ordered a rubber stamp…I LOVE that thing and am still going through this phase where I like to stamp it on everything….

The finished product…I just have to write the address on it and take it to the post office!

Happy Monday!!
