One of the gifts I’m putting together for Christmas this year is for my sister-in-law and I can share that because I’m pretty certain she doesn’t read my blog. My sister-in-law enjoys tea and when we stayed with her back in June {on our trip from Long Island to Pennsylvania while moving our son}, she had quite a variety to offer me.
This particular label came with the set that I recently ordered from MagicPug and used on wine bottle fabric bags. I didn’t think it really worked for wine bottles but thought it might make for a nice label for a little gift bag for tea related items. I used some black and white ticking stripe fabric that I had gotten to use for stockings.
I put it together basically the same way I did the wine bottle bags here, just a little smaller. I used a black sheer ribbon for the tie.
I called on my fellow Buckeye, Michele from The Nest at Finch Rest, for some suggestions on what to put in my gift bag. Michele is someone I think of when I think “all things tea”, so I knew she would come up with some good suggestions.
I went to Home Goods and they had quite a large selection of items to choose from {for the coffee lover, too!}. I got a tin of English teas, Cinnamon Vanilla Dunks, Booklover Chocolate {dark chocolate in a book shaped package}, and Green Tea.
I embellished a small demitasse spoon I picked up at an estate sale with some bling and glitter. I also added a magnet to the back so she can use it on her refrigerator. The glitter looks a bit like snow or sugar. I just added the spoon into the bow I tied.
A nice little tea themed gift that I think she will enjoy!
(I just noticed the spoon slipped out of the bow and is attached to the tea tin inside the bag! Gotta fix that!}
So sweet! I'm sure Catherine will love it!

Super cute gift, Kathy! Tea is my all time favorite. I love loose leaf tea in flavors like ginger peach clove, lavender garden, craigmore english breakfast, rose petal lush, and the list could go on. I bet your sister-in-law will love your present. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I got my ornament from Celestina Marie Designs. Thank you so much for your great giveaway! Have a lovely day. ~ Jamie
