SatinDucky Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 That is just too perty! Especially with the lavender sprigs in them.Sigh.... one more thing to add to the "to try someday" list...LOL. Well, without the lavender, since I kill everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kate573 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Always first class products. This one is something I would certainly buy them for gifts. You just have the best stuff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubure Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Please excuse me - stupid question: what kind of hole puncher do you use for such pretty holes in the tag (never seen this here in Europe...)?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 You can buy hole punches that are shaped differently than the standard round hole. This one is shaped like a little flower. Here in the US you can find them in the larger craft stores. Or if scrapbooking has made its way to Europe, you can probably find fancy paper punches in a scrapbooking store. Online you can see them at sites such as http://www.onlineriver.com/doorway/holepunchworld.cfm I've never shopped that site, but they have cool stuff.

Brenda Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Your sachets are a wonderfully cute product! I'd buy those - your stuff is always just right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubure Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Thanks Robin - you know, we in Europe have just discovered Yank.. (can you imagine how hard I have to work to make them buy one of my other candles:mad:) so how can we have such fancy hole punches???

HeavenScentU Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Very cute and clever!!! I would buy them for $3.00. I know anything under $5.00 sells very well especially stocking stuffers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamperme Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Those are so pretty.. I love lavender as well.. would love to have a large piece of land and grow fields of it. I would pay $5 for those in a heart beat at any craft venue...esp if they smell pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Those are beautiful!I wonder if you could attach a magnet to the back. Put it on the frig or desk file cabinet...Also wonder if a note could slide up and be held in the clothespin...or slide down. Maybe a dishwasher sign: clean/dirty on opposite sides of the note. The heat from the dishwasher would really release that lavendar!They're just so pretty-I'd want it to show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late Night Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Those are so cute! I wonder if you could soak them in cedar oil and hang them in a closet for moth protection. That wouldn't smell as good as lavender though. I'd definately buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoopie Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I just love the idea of these! But my line is very simple and not at all country, but I thought I'd love some for myself so I soaked regular clothespins in fo for a couple of hours then dried them. I did about a dozen. I now have them clipped to wire shelves in closets, on the visor of my car, to the lip of the bathroom trash, linen closet etc. They can be clipped anywhere! I have 2 clipped in my walk in closet and WOW it smells great!!Any of you out there with more of a country theme.... I think these would be great sellers if you were to put them in a small mason jars (stuff in like pickles), cut the FO with something (maybe the stuff for reed diffusers?) and call them pickled clothes pins? maybe lol?? Instructions: lay out to dry, put anywhere and everywhere and then when they lose their scent return to jar to "re-pickle"... they could be used over and over again.I think though that you would have to use the old fashion clothes pins, like Robin did, or else the metal would rust.Really liking this idea.... too bad I can't do it, but I hope someone else can!Thanks for the inspiration Robin, every nook and cranny in my house and car smells great!

Stacey J. Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I think those are beautiful. Very unique, I am thinking they would be great teachers gifts. (If the teacher liked lavender I guess ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elle110 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 So how do you soak these w/o wasting FO, I bought some of the clothespins thinking I would like to make some for my car etc but how will I soak them w/o using a ton of FO?

RobinInOR Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 In a pint or quart jar, I think they fit in the pint. Just put a 1/2 inch of fragrance in the bottom and roll it around a bunch. Or you can do it in a small shallow pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawaiiansun Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 So how long does these last? The thread started a year ago, any updates on how it holds up and if it sells? Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Of course you are. Yes, they still sell quite well - I was still selling some at the beginning of market, they were very popular. They don't last real long unbagged - probably a good month in a drawer, but I'm actually selling them bagged in cello at the moment, and in jars. The jars are more popular.

SoyKandles Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Those are really cute and I'm also impressed with this thread that has stayed around for a year!! Robin, have you thought of selling a refresher spray to go along with these? They are too cute to throw away and not be useful as an air freshner!
