BOUTIQUE Packaging for PHOTOGRAPHERS

A NEW YEAR and a NEW creative venture for me has me excited as well as feeling apprehensive. I'm excited to have this new idea finally in motion and set up in a new shop on ETSY.  But apprehensive because it's more work for me at a time when I have little "time" to spare.

The shop name "BitsButtonsBows" has been there for a while as I originally used it for selling my overstock sewing supplies. The shop went dormant for a few months and most recently was a venue for selling vintage this and that from my numerous collections. It was a bomb to say the least. With a flooded market for vintage and the bad economny, no one is really looking to add more stuff to their already exploding collections. Guess I have to hold on to most of mine unless I have one of my spur of the moment "manic" cleaning frenzies when I impulsively pack up collections and donate them. Not giving a thought to the money spent on the items nor the emotional attachment that some collectibles have in my world of vintage love. Oh well, I digress, and so back on track again with the message of this post!

Bitsbuttonsbows has once again been re-vamped and now offers BOUTIQUE hand assembled packaging for PHOTOGRAPHERS. I've always enjoyed wrapping a beautiful packages for gift giving. The wraps are pre-assembled and easily slip on the presentation box.

The package wraps are in kits of 6 pieces in 4 sets to a lot, selling for $22.00 set of 4

A set consists of:
Gorgeous package wrap fully assembled, easily slide over box
Presentation Box 8 x 10" in either pink or organic re-cycled kraft material

5 x 7" photo folder made from re-cycled kraft card stock

Inside tissue fold in coordinating color
Sticker for tissue closure custom made coordinating
Thank you card for personal note to client

OR sold in single 6 piece set, selling for $8.

Also have presentation boxes sold in set of 4 for $12

as well my version of re-cycled organic CD slip sleeves selling for $4.50 each

Cute Holiday Packaging

I love to wrap a beautiful gift. I also like to make my customer packages look special too. It's always so much fun at the holidays to use cute bags, ribbons and treats to give every item that I sell a special look. This years bags are organza with butterflies. Also have large white ones for gift sets.

Using my business  cards as hang tags serves dual purpose and these plain card stock ones from VISTA pint are a great buy. I purchase them in bulk 200 quantity for less than $19 and this time around I received 50 free!

Everyone loves a candy treat. These super cute mini bags of JELLY BELLY gourmet jelly beans are perfect for attaching to the bag!

We are so blessed to have this precious new addition to the family.  My mother Jean is 80 yrs. old and in awe of her great-grandchildren. It's at times like this when I miss my dad Marvin,  father-in-law Joe, and my mother-in-law Georgia.Wish they would have lived long enough into golden old age to see their 4 great-grand children, and enjoyed the legacy of their lives in this blessed fruition of new life.

Funky Red and Green Tye Dye DSLR Camera Tote $ 23.00

$23.00

Do you want it? Only have 2 of the 5 left in stock! Had this fabric in my inventory for a year and no one really took notice until I made a few camera strap sleeves and a dslr tote. I think that the pattern shows up the best on the large size tote and that is what is grabbing peoples attention. Also had this one in a purple and lime pattern that sold out very quickly. Think I will need to go fabric shopping for some additional tye dye batik cottons. It's a funky retro kind of thing and I love it!  Measures: 7W 6H 4D

Disclaimer: these totes are meant to be a convenient way to store and "tote" you dslr within another larger bag. Put it in your backpack, suitcase or large outer tote or bag. No need to take your heavy padded bag when you don't really need it ALL the time.
