A few days ago I ordered some decorative

stickers from HeatherBullard.com

and today they ARRIVED!

I love giving little gifts whether it be

something that I've made by hand,

some baked goodies or

a group of little treasures I've found.

I spotted these adorable stickers and

thought they would be perfect to decorate

packages or bags along with some vintage lace, 

jewelry, buttons and many other items I have. 

.

I was inspired by my friend Tracey at

French Larkspur (click on her button on the right)

who at Christmas time made some adorable treasures

by recycling paper, plastic containers and other items.

She adorned them with

embellishments and turned them into

absolutely fabulous gift ideas and packages.

I have been saving all kinds of little boxes,

plastic containers and lots of other things to create some

hopefully memorable treasures

for those I love. 

Here's to a little creative recycling...

Thanks Tracey for the inspiration!
