crocheting fun!

 happy thursday! i have a bit of a weird schedule this weekend as i have friday off but i am working saturday and have sunday off. a friends birthday is sunday so i got the day off so i can hang out at the park with her and enjoy the sunshine, finally!


a while back the wonderful violet bella posted this really cute DIY on a crochet envelope and i thought it was super cute so i decided to do my own simple version! i thought it would a really cute way to send out my jewelry pieces from my shop, citybirds. i had some extra orange yarn that i just adore that i used and made a bunch of them!

i made sure they are able to fit my business card and a little handwritten note too! i just love how cute they came out and they add a little special something to each order!


made with love and sent in style :D

  3. Those crocheted envelopes are a really sweet touch. I always appreciate it when a seller makes a teeny bit of effort to make you feel special - even just a nice ribbon or card or something does it for me! And why not? After all, we want the little owls to travel comfortably, don't we?

  15. Those envelopes are so cute! And it's so cool because the wool will be like natural bubble wrap!

    I love the idea of doing features too, if only I had something to promote (I guess my random blogging isn't really a business, hehe!).
