the wedding favors

[aslant]

this morning i finished making the wedding favors, which ended up being surprisingly cheap:

$30 for 72 large white slide boxes
$5 for assorted purple grosgrain ribbon (on sale)
$100 for lots of vintage hankies on ebay
$10 for gluegun and special gluestick
$0 for cardstock covers from leftover invitations
$0 for calligraphy with my own supplies
$0 for lavender sprigs from the garden
-------
= $145 or about $2 for each favor. not bad! i think they look okay. i hope people like them.

thank you! i've been working on assembling them for so long, it's kind of hard to tell anymore. part-way through, i thought they all looked like tiny fairy beds. it is exactly the bed i would have made for a fairy doll when i was little -- when the box is pulled open, the folded hanky looks like tiny bedding. anyway, i'm glad you like them!
