My daugther starts preschool when she turns 2 at the end of November and I got all excited about buying her a lunchbox, drink bottle and school bag. But not half as excited as I was about ordering my Motex label maker!!!!!
I bought it online from
Qwerky Home who sell "fun and beautiful homeware, gifts, furniture and stationery in vibrant shades and lush fabric and quirky designs".
And look at the beautiful way it came packaged...
....with a lovely hand written note and some peas!! Yes peas but more about that in a moment.
I really should have finished putting away my groceries and clearing the bench but of course I couldn't wait and had to rip into it and get labelling...
...it is so much fun to use and so retro. I ordered extra pink and yellow tape and then ended up bying a pink and yellow lunchbox so it is all very co-ordinated!
Then I thought while I already had such a mess I might as well make a label for her bag too. I found some Amy Butler cardstock and randomly chopped some tag shapes and laminated them...
... added the name and found some recycled bakers twine....
and there you have it a bag tag...
Now back to the packet of peas...
...which I found very intriguing so followed the link that was 'motexed' on the packet and this is what I found in the FAQs....
What are the pea and spaghetti squash seeds all about?We try to do our bit to lessen our impact on our environment. Sharing some seeds and encouraging some vege growing on your balcony or with children out in the back garden makes us feel good.
How cool is that! We love growing our own vegies so I can't wait to get these planted or should I say give them to hubby to plant as he is in charge of the vegie patch.
Hi - you left a comment on my blog, Stitchbird about the red polka dot fabric. Sorry I am replying here as you have a no reply blogger profile. If you want to email me lyndy@stitchbird.co.nz with your address I can send you a wee sample. I think the fabric would work well. Thanks Lyndy
