Giving

The Autumn season inspires me to think of gift-giving - simple, thoughtful ideas based on our natural bounty and our inclinations for warmth and good company.

With the sudden arrival of cooler nights I love the idea of giving a good bottle of wine as a gift. Make fabric wine bags from the scraps of fabric you have kept and tie with ribbons to finish the gift with your own personal touch.
