I haven’t had great lighting of late, so with the sun’s rare appearance today, I took a lot of pictures (perhaps too many?).
Today I wanted to show you what I hope you’ll find to be a very pretty way to present some of your delicious baking goods in an unexpected little container we tend to just throw away….
But before I continue, I wanted to let you know that all of the paper used on this post was a generous gift from Canvas Corp. I am so thankful because this came at the perfect time.
I’m not sure if you can tell, but this is a mandarin orange wooden box, covered in book pages and some more of the beautiful paper I received. I have been saving those crates trying to think of what to use them for and I think this is just right…
I love how the cookies look inside their little box and the sprigs of cedar add just the right Christmas touch…
This bag was a simple brown craft bag from the dollar store and I used the same technique I speak about here to make it into a pretty cookie bag….
So my friends, this is it from me for now. I hope you enjoyed this little idea and that I have inspired you to think outside the ‘wooden box’ (sorry, I just had to).
Oh, but before I go, I have one more. This one my kids don’t appreciate because they think I’m lying to Santa….ha!
has a sense of humour….
Thank you for spending your precious time with me…
much love,
Lucy
I love the bags, the boxes, the papers, tags, everything! I think a tutorial on how to make the little boxes would be nice.
Hi
Oh my goodness! my mouth is watering and I feel like I have been transported to Paris! I agree with Bama Girl the little box is delightful! The whole thing is delightful! You truly have a creative gift from God!I love all of the photos, the more the merrier!’

Great looking stuff Lucy. Merry Christmas to you!
So beautiful and creative. Love the black and white paper. Merry Christmas!
Such a great idea for those crates we get with the oranges – what a way to reuse!!!
Lucy, thank you for your friendship and sharing your creativity and warmth. Wishing you and your family the merriest of Christmases this holiday season.
I love that paper! You put it to use so well. What pretty packaging. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas 🙂
Lucy…you are truly one talented girl. You make everything so special with all of the extra touches and styling you put into your gifts. Oh, how I’d love to one of the recipients. tee hee I’ve so enjoyed your postings this holiday season and have pinned several for reminders for next year and future events when I need to provide cool wrappings. Great job on your blog girl… And oh, how I love the elements you’ve showcased from Canvas Corp too. So much my style. 🙂
Have a blessed Christmas with your family and friends.

Wow, absolutely stunning way to display homemade goodies. Thanks for sharing.
The cakes are so fresh, the recipe you made is so great and you have really clever hands, I really like the way you decorate them.
