Today we have found treasure. Treasure right in our
very own homes just waiting for us to find it.
"What is this!?" You ask?
Yes, you have unfound treasure, only requirement is
to open your fridge or cupboards.
Enjoy the beauty and talent of packaging designers.
A beautiful bottle and a gift from nature.
Hot cocoa containers can live on through the summer
and back into the fall!
Can you imagine a gorgeous Fall bouquet in this cocoa
tin! I just slipped a drinking glass through the opening
that was a tiny bit taller than the tin... so we can re-
treave the glass later.
And the simplicity of a small jar with a beautifully
scribed label in tact.
Let us not forget my "Shabby" bottles!!!
As sweet and innocent as lovely sweet peas.
I went to my own cupboard and fidge and found more
containers... future vases in a pinch or planned. These
are also "vases" that one could easily send over to a
friend and neighbor with blooms billowing over there
tops.
I realized that I have even more objects around my home. All containers
that were oh so lovely and not ready to be confined to the recycling bin.
Anyone wondering what and were the gift give away is? ! Ah, you are going
to be thrilled! Well, I am! :) I hope that you will be also!
Just leave me your name on TODAYS POST comment section OR if you do not have the means to comment you can go to my etsy shop, Oh Merci and leave your name and info in the "contact ohmerci" section of my shop :)
Here it is~
This is my first cozy little cottage design.
I love the slopped roof and the petit round top front door.
You will be set for the winter with this Sweet
Snowman Cottage.
***aqua vase not included***
Have fun spreading some summer joy around your home today
with this simple and fun petit project.
Tomorrow ~ Ah, a very fun project full of summer!!!
Hugs,
Mary

I love your ode to beautiful packaging designs! Just this past weekend, I had a bottle of water at a cafe and I have kept the bottle in the car, because it's too gorgeous - it's bottled in Florence Italy, and has a fleur de lis design embossed on the plastic, as well as a gorgeous illustration/design on the label!
I'll be looking around the house today for pretty packages -- and filling them with posies. Thanks for the inspiration, as always!
And do enter my name in your giveaway. The cottage is so cute -- perfect for winter dreaming.
That is the sweetest little house, I love it.
