Whew! Taxes are pretty much done. That took a while! I'll have to keep a bit more up-to-date this year!! So I was taking a bit of a break between taxes and getting to work on editing photos and I ran across this site. It brought back memories of Japan, where I lived from '95 - '98. The Japanese would often wrap their lunch boxes, shopping items and gifts in a square cloth they called 'furoshiki'. In fact, most of Japanese gift wrapping is absolutely splendid and truly works of art, however this form has the bonus of being environmentally friendly. Jenny Wren Paperie has a product called FUROCHIC (very clever I thought!!) which is taken from that Japanese concept. The material is just gorgeous and as they say on the website "Furochic has a life long after the present has been opened and can be turned into a no-sew handbag, pillow covering, scarf, patchwork quilt or used to re-wrap another gift." AND, a Canadian company to boot!!! Go check it out!
