Thinking INSIDE The Box

Everyone who KNOWS me personally, KNOWS how I love handmade, creative gifts. And they KNOW that I just don’t make time for that very often. But when I do, nothing kills my creative buzz like sitting down to make that plush little monster pillow and realizing I’m  out of googly eyes and silk flowers. A trip to Michaels or Hobby Lobby can take care of some things and somethings well just can’t be cured that easily.

In such dire situations, there’s only one place to turn: Parcel.

I found this little gem of an online store through a magazine article a few years ago they didn’t have an online shop then  and I’ve come to love it more and more every day. The only killer for this site (for me anyway) is the wretched music box music that automatically plays. To each his own, but I think they could do without it totally. You can, by the way, turn off the madness with a little button on the site that’s prominently placed.

Based out of Montclair, New Jersey, the new online shop is full of crafty inspiration boxes. Available in two sizes and a variety of themes, the pretty parcels consist of vintage and “hard-to-find bits of ephemera, millinery, and supplies and are perfect for craft projects, gift wrapping, party planning, or simply as decoration”.

You can choose from motifs like fairies, nature, magic, nesting, and school. So for gifting, scrapping or just plain crafty goodness, these girls have it goin on. Their boxes are reasonably priced and you’ll love opening your “package” from Parcel!

Guaranteed to get you thinking inside the box for once!

I haven’t been compensated for this post, its just a place I love to shop and I thought you’d all love finding out about it too!
