Hoo boy, a lot has happened since the last time I opened a fresh, clean post window here. The short version: we adopted a baby!!!! The long version: I also started a new job in 2021 that kept me very, very busy and let's be real, we're all hanging out on Instagram.
But for posterity's sake, it's imperative to share my wrapping schemes here until I figure out the next phase of my online life.
I've toyed for a while with the idea of green and blue. With quite a bit of blue left over from my blue schemes in 2020 and 2016, I decided it was time. Since the pandemic, I've expanded my searches for wrapping paper to Etsy, which is where I've really found some exceptional options and I like that I'm supporting independent stationary/paper designers. I had an idea of Regency-inspired Wedgwood blue and sage green in my head and found perfect options to get started from Ruby Stripe, a fantastic Etsy shop.
I supplemented with striped paper from Target and Joy Creative and a beautiful floral I picked up at Penny Post in Old Town Alexandria. In addition to ribbons from my existing stash, I found some beautiful frayed chiffon ribbon on Amazon that really brought it all together.
The whole scheme has me ready to take a turn about a garden or play the pianoforte!
