~ Beautiful Burlap ~ handmade burlap gift bags and a giveaway

Oops -- I shouldn't have gone off a whole week without anything to share, but today, I'm back, for a little burlap love.

On to the fun things! I trailed after my mum and sisters to "arab street" (a cute, old, antique-y place here in Singapore) to find material for our choir girls' dresses for our next season  and I found a big roll of burlap in one of the stores! .exactly.what.I.wanted.

Burlapbaggie 
 So I asked the "auntie" to cut half-a-meter for me, and I took it home and snipped it up and made these little gift-pockets.

BurlapbaggieA2

trimmed with real, crocheted lace and fairy wings, tea-dyed buds and a felt rose. And the most beautiful chandelier drops I found in a beads-and-trinkets store.

BurlapbaggieA1

little lockets and key trinkets I found somewhere on "arab street". these stores are nameless and I'm not sure I can find them again next time. *frowny face*

And I made a card with a little burlap too.. here 'tis..

   .. see the cute wall-panels behind my card? I picked it up for just a few dollars at the wonderful beads-and-trinkets store ... the old fashioned kind of place with lots of cute things to pick over -- and I just love that little panel! here's a full photo -- darling isn't it?

 Last of all... today is...
 
Giveaway1
 ~ give away day ~

... here are some of my very favorite goodies that I used in the creations shared today... and I would love to give a bundle of them away to you as a "thank you" for all the times you've come to visit. whether you come often, or this is your first time popping in, just say so.. I love to get to know my readers too :) 

only one rule: if you don't leave a comment, you don't get to be picked. Easy? you can say anything you please in your comments. Niceness not enforced here :)

*sometimes, just sometimes, I feel cranky and don't participate in giveaways... if that's you today, please do still leave a comment because I'm just aching all over to know just who reads my silly blog... will you? you're a dear!*

Next weekend, I will be back and draw a name. And if we go more than 50 comments, I will pick two winners. each will get this goodie bundle...

    How delightfully sweet the new look and name of your blog! "Sunshine" is my nickname so I really am drawn to the whole of it! How fun it would be if you would take photos of the quaint shops you visit in your area and then share them with us! Here in Southern Minnesota we have to travel a ways to find such places!

    Boohoo :( I missed out on your Je t'aime in Pink. I had a dental appt out of town yesterday, and when I got home had to make supper and my night was filled. I didn't have a chance to check your store. I do check in everyday as not to miss anything. I don't have any shops to explore near me, but it sounds like soooooooo much fun!
    Saying a prayer for your studying and exams and a thank you for allowing my name to be included in your drawing. I'd love to try my hand at trying to make a pocket as cute as yours. I will cross my fingers xxxxxxx.

I love these creations with burlap. Is this K and Co. paper? So fun to see the mixture of textures (roughness of burlap with the softness of the lace). Great inspiration here everytime I visit.

    Oh, my goodness...how late am I?!? I did my usual "quickie" check in yesterday and am back today with more time to stop and chat. I thought, where in the heck are all these comments coming from?!? Then I read about the give away. Give away or not...I love these. I've always enjoyed the burlap on Melissa's projects, also. The neutral color of it makes the pretty clean whites and pastels just shine...kind of like good Kraft card stock, only with way more texture! The little drops are so lovely, too. And I really like the extra wide trim on the bag--seems to really soften the burlap. OK, I'm rambling...gotta git. Good luck next week! I know you'll do well!! Each one of these are true beauties!!

    I am touched by the ladylike femine elements, lace, roses and pearls. I love the use of keys as they take on so many different meanings. A Heartfelt thank-you for your beautiful work.

    I was just browsing through and searching for ribbons and stumbled upon your creation in one of the search results. Am hooked onto the beautiful crafts you made, was going "ooh my" at each piece. Very gorgeous pieces and hope I'd get to try to create some myself too. Am truly inspired to get started! Keep it going :)
