Every once in a while a customer sends me a photo or two of how they’ve used their Divine Twine. I love seeing what people come up with.  Lisa Pearson sent me the photo collage below. Oh my! Lisa’s not only thoughtful, but stunningly creative! Thanks Lisa!

I subscribe to her blog through Google Reader so I don’t miss a post!  Thank you Suzonne!

I sent a little package to a friend. I used a white sandwich bag with some Lemon and Oyster Divine Twine and my mad calligraphy skills (ha!) on  a couple of hang tags.

The last new Divine Twine color coming in a couple of months is red and white. It will be known as Cherry. I know there’s other red and white bakers twine on the market, but I get frequent requests for it so it seemed logical to add it to the line. The red is a little deeper and the white is definitely more white compared to other bakers twine (though it’s hard to tell in my photos that have a blue cast to them!).

I think it looks great with Green Apple for the holidays, Aqua for July 4th, Cotton Candy for Valentine’s and Oyster just because.

Here are a couple of photos of the second new color of Divine Twine that should be available by mid-June at the latest. Gray and white bakers twine which will be called Oyster when it makes its debut. I love this color. It’s soft and sophisticated, well as sophisticated as bakers twine can get.  It looks so pretty paired with the Lemon, Cotton Candy (pink) or Orange twine.

I received samples of the new Divine Twine colors. Yea! Since it takes me forever to take photos, I’ll have to share the 3 new colors one at a time with you. Up first, pink and white bakers twine or as it will be known when it makes its debut, Cotton Candy. Pink and white bakers twine is the second most requested color I receive, after red and white. I worked really hard to create a pink that would contrast well against the white, but still have a soft, sweet look. I’m really excited (and relieved!) how it turned out. It should be available for sale by mid-June at the latest (I hope!).

Jenna, a Divine Twine customer, let me know her wedding invitations were featured on Orange Girl’s blog and I’m so glad she did! Not only did I discover Kirstie Tweed’s mad photography skills and her beautiful website, but take a look at these amazing invitations. I love how Jenna made them extra personal by using materials that she loves + having the recipient’s name on the tag.

A couple of weeks ago my sister-in-law helped me clean out my kitchen cabinets. I saved an old spice tin because I loved the size.

I gathered my supplies: tin, Japanese washi tape (have I mentioned I love this stuff?), some Divine Twine (I love this stuff too) and a portion of a full sheet label.

Ta da! A snappy pencil holder. A little bit of Spring freshness on these gray days.
