Spring Fever

Here in NJ the winter wind has tempered, and the weather has been NICE! Not sure if it will stay, but it is making us eager for Spring to spring! We have been "budding" with ideas to create beautiful, festive Spring celebrations.  We started with these handmade flowers...

 
Aren't they purtty! We love them so.

We have also made these tiny penant garlands with vintage floral fabrics...

Instant happiness for a Spring celebration!

We also created new theme boxes that will soon be added to our website for purchase. Our theme boxes are filled with carefully selected paper goods, imagery, labels, tags, ribbons, crafting materials and trinkets all reflecting the feeling of the theme. Here are our samples...

this is a sneak peak of rachel and pete's perfect wedding day.  more to come from this glorious celebration, plus the long-overdue pics from our own vanessa's wedding and from the adorable marilyn and sean of last year.  stay tuned... much love always!

Green...the color of LOVE???

With all of the flower giving as the sentimental holidays approach, why not go GREEN and give an  "everlasting bouquet"?? We put together some arrangements using our vintage and old stock flowers... it's the gift that keeps on giving!

Starry eyed

Does anybody know where January went?!  Seems to have blown right past us!  Here we are in February, feeling the love and taking time to star gaze as we find ourselves surrounded by celestial treasures...

Handmade Glitter Starbursts & Wands

We're OPEN AGAIN on SUNDAY from 11-4pm!

Stop by for some holiday shopping fun and merriment! Hope to see you soon!!

We're OPEN TODAY (SUNDAY) from 11am -4pm!

we didn't plan opening today (since we're usually closed sundays), but we figured our fans and friends might need some additional time to shop for the holiday.  we'll be there from 11am-4pm, with lots of amazing holiday treats.  we have many of our xmas "smalls" packaged in cute little clear bags with hangtags bearing the "PARCEL General Store" name.  stop by and say hi today!

for goodness sake, where has the time gone?

let's face it, folks - i'm not the best blogger.  my intentions are so good, though.  i take so many pictures, have so many ideas, and then time just slips away!  on the positive side, some of my customers enjoy visiting my shop less frequently and then will spend hours in one visit catching up.  so maybe it's more about that.  that's the best i've got.  so here's hoping you will spend hours catching up here - or possibly just a few long happy moments! 

the shop is super chock-full with new (old) tiny trimmings and millinery bits, foil-pressed and handmade cards, toppers and tags, wrapping goodness galore!  all packaged in pretty parcels making them gifts in themselves. 

...and more to come!

 

TODAY Sept. 15th is the last day you can vote for us in the BEST of ESSEX contest! We're nominated for BEST GIFT STORE.

Thanks for your support and love!!
