The other day I received a small package from my friend. It wasn’t my birthday, and there were no holidays coming up, so I wasn’t expecting anything. She sent me such a carefully thought out, beautifully put together package just to say hello! The theme was dogs, so every little charm and printed paper was about my favorite animal. This is just one more reason I love living the embellished life: a simple greeting is transformed into a thoughtful event.

In case you’re wondering how the fringes on the tissue paper were created, it’s done using my new favorite craft tool found at Bell’occhio in San Francisco. Don’t worry if you don’t live there!

These amazing scissors are sold on their website here.
