Celebrating with the Conscious Shopper
A little glimpse into our handmade holiday...
Holiday cookies in thrift store tins
A string of popcorn and craisins to add color to the tree
Homemade quick breads for teachers - (does anyone know of a way to deliver quick breads without using plastic wrap?)
New aprons for the boys
And new capes (both made from fabric scraps on my thrifted sewing machine)
Happy Holidays to you all!

I've had some luck with paper lunch bags and bread in the past, as long as it doesn't sit in there for too long, they're usually just fine.
I love the capes. This year, I'm making knitted light sabers. Next year, jedi capes! And don't ever ever ever buy new tins when you can get them for pennies at the thrift store. Merry Xmas.
That's it - I'm coming to live with you! What fun!
Love it! Great post, Erin. I especially like the aprons. :)
Next year I pledge to be more organized! I got around to making jam for gifts, but I am super bummed that I never got around to getting my sewing machine fixed! The potato stamp cards also look awesome! I think I am going to have to set a reminder to check this post again next Nov. 1st!
Quick breads for the teachers - great idea! Would a wax paper bag do the trick? Not recyclable, but compostable.
@Daisy - After doing the cookies in the tins with wax paper, I was thinking of trying the quick breads the same way next year. Do you know what the waxy part on wax paper is? I've never thought to look that up before. Also aluminum foil would work but it wouldn't look quite as pretty as plastic wrap because you wouldn't be able to see the breads. I like doing quick breads though because they're not as dessert-like as cookies.
