Buying presents
Aug. 28th, 2004 10:15 amWhy is it that, no matter how much gorgeous paper I have in the house, I never have anything that is exactly right for a project? I decided, despite their "no presents, please!" request, to make Peggy & George a photo album as a wedding gift. After all, they can't just put the wedding photos in a shoe box, can they? The wedding colors are pale blue and silver, so naturally I have paper that is pale blue and gold, dark blue and silver, etc. So off to the Paper Source I went, and found a lovely Indian paper, a pale blue background with small silver flowers, as well as silver book cloth. So I'm pleased.
However! Epoch had their moving sale yesterday, and I bought a wooden vase that needs a glass insert if I'm going to use if for real flowers, which of course I am. The plan was to check out World Market and a couple of other places after I went to Paper Source. But I managed to forget the vase, which I'd need to check the insert size. Another day, I guess. I also picked up a great black and white ceramic vase for a Christmas present for someone, as well as a few other goodies that will be gifts. A couple of people in the office were thrilled when I told them that a nail salon is taking over the space.
