We were out of town last week, so I went to the post office this morning to retrieve this package that arrived. From India.
They spend a lot of time on packaging. Here is my package, from the outside in: a cloth envelope, whipstitched closed by hand on the back.
Then sewn shut by machine:
Then covered in mesh-backed paper:
Then covered in plastic. Getting closer...
Finally. Beautiful napkins to go with my Fiestaware dishes:
OUTGOING:
To my hexie swap partner:
These little owls always want to steal the show.
A bag to put them in (because hexies should travel in style, in a little fabric bag made out of hexagon fabric!)
All tied and ready to go:
My adorable little hexagon helper, looking extra cool in his shades. He always looks so serious when he is sorting these hexies. Apparently it takes a lot of concentration.
