Lucky Packets

I have been dying to make these again. Sam and I have been making them for Hey Cherry for years, so Durban knows all about them, but for the new Aussie clients here is their introduction. They are finally available in our shop and will be on sale at our first markets as well (will keep you updated on venues and times). These Lucky Packets are stitched together using vintage sheet music or illustrations from vintage books (only the ones that were falling apart). The original page is used in each case. The contents of each packet vary slightly from those shown in the photograph - it is, after all, a Lucky Packet and so some mystery must remain. No two lucky packets are the same. These are ideal gifts for young and old. We also do bulk orders if you would like to use these as party favours, wedding favours or Secret Santa gifts. Contact me on bronwen[at]madeonce.com.au for pricing and theme availability.
