Uniquely Wrapped In Nature

The wrapping on this gift touched me as much as the gift itself.  Just knowing that someone took the time to do something by hand and so uniquely special.  The gift was from a dear friend with awesome creativity and talents.  With their permission I did not unwrap this gift for several days so I could just savor it all.  When opened it revealed a equally beautiful and thoughtful book.

Look around your yard for some gift wrapping inspiration.  It's not only beautiful but good for the environment.  Basically this is a hosta leaf used to wrap around the gift.  Smaller variegated leaves from a aucuba plant are bunched with flowers and tied on with some satin ribbon.  For an addided touch aucuba hanging tendrils were twisted.  Just lovely.

Happy Mother's Day to all.    -  Marianne
