Brown & Bronze, tied up with string

Bronze beauty

It's a brown paper envelope, tied up with string! The bronze accents are just gorgeous, but it's the little bit of glittery string that just puts it over the top. I wondered if this was handcrafted, but in fact it's made by Papyrus. This lovely item came to me from the gentleman behind Everyday Correspondence, and he blogged about it in much greater detail and timelier fashion than I did, so you should really see what he posted to have a proper look.

Brown paper packages tied up with string

Brown paper packages tied up with string

I don't know which I love more, the package or what it contains. This came from India bearing fine Indian fountain pens. The package, emblematic of one of my favorite song lyrics, was so lovely I had to photograph it. (Haven't photographed the pens yet... too busy writing with them!)

Package from India

It came all the way from India most expeditiously, and in fine condition.
