As we have been preparing Oceans Mingle we have had the joyful job of buying future gifts for our friends and family so we could take photographs of items to highlight the stores on our site.
One hidden delight in purchasing items from these stores is the charming packaging that many of the gifts arrive in. We have received jewelry in hand-sewn purses, colorful draw-string bags, soft colorful tissue paper, recycled curls of paper and the classic brown paper packages tied up with string! We have eagerly read the tags and little notes from the creators. You will feel a personal connection with the individual creators of these products.
You’ll find when someone admires your bracelet you will not only smile when you accept the complement you will also rush to tell them the story of who made it – it’s so much more than just jewelry.
