I'm only bringing it up here in case you don't check your Etsy e-mail tonight. Halp!<br /><br />The citrine earrings are GORRRRGEOUS as advertised, the one pair of seahorses is even BETTER looking than advertised, but I needed that second pair for my friend in Ohio's birthday on October 1st. Again, I implore: HALP!<br /><br />And do NOT waste money on extraneous packaging, WHEN THE PRODUCT IS THIS GOOD. The lovely little recycled-paper envelopes with the rafia ties was FAR more packaging than I was expecting, as most of my online purchases are lucky if they've got BUBBLE-WRAP. But your jewelry is SOOO damned good, it does NOT need to be propped-up or eclipsed by overdone marketing or packaging. The work stands on its own, and then some!Anntichrist S.

I have been using the photo envelopes from the waste-not center and also i like to use recycled brown paper bags tied with a ribbon for packaging. normally, i will then enclose the little package in button wrap, and then put that into a bubble wrap envelope. for cards, i'll recycle flat pieces of cardboard to keep the envelope stiff and flat. So far, no one has said their items arrived damaged. i worry about it. <br /><br />if i had taken your poll, i would say pretty packaging is nice but as long as my item is packaged to be well protected in transit, i'm happy.Cindyhttp://fussbucketdesigns.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477614302275753340.post-46107331035820093082009-06-27T20:15:32.845-04:002009-06-27T20:15:32.845-04:00Awesome!

Being a packrat, I have a large stash of supplies that I've picked up at yard sales, thrift shops, etc. Part of being eco friendly to me is using stuff that other people would have thrown out, instead of buying new.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475393293176991860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477614302275753340.post-28153322135941323112009-06-27T17:10:07.194-04:002009-06-27T17:10:07.194-04:00Very interesting and helpfull!

...Very interesting and helpfull!<br />Thank you so much.<br /><br />What i do question myself: what actually is eco friendly packaging? I always recycle wrapping papers, but is it neccesary to only buy eco friendly wrapping papers etc.?<br />(Maybe a stupic question, but i was just wondering what people really mean by the term eco friendly...)<br /><br />:)<br />Have a great day!loveologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01635062497834031550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477614302275753340.post-46712624340977519852009-06-27T16:31:34.290-04:002009-06-27T16:31:34.290-04:00That's a cute idea, SnappyShop.

The tape strengthens the paper envelope, the magazine would get thrown in the recycle bin, and they look so nice. The plain white envelopes look so boring to me now that I have to decorate them. My customers love the way I decorate their packages.SnappyShop.etsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04880737614187739305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477614302275753340.post-30721349910544057282009-06-27T15:49:14.076-04:002009-06-27T15:49:14.076-04:00Thanks for summing up!Thanks for summing up!SarahKelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11224325648978545957noreply@blogger.com
