Printed Matter: Dainty details

My penchant for botanical prints is well documented on this blog. In fact, Ate Bullet has a number of nice, botanical print clothes in her closet.

But there's always room for another one. Especially if the print is this cute.

This is a botanical print, but done in a dainty way. The prints are small and delicate, simple in its execution and colour, and spaced adequately so that you can appreciate it more.

And this dainty print is from an equally dainty dress from The Landmark.

You really can never have too many botanical print dresses. 

Rock the Botanical

Wait a minute. I haven’t written about last year’s Christmas wrapper theme.

The first time I saw Botanical Prints in a museum as a kid, i’ve always been enamored by it. There’s something fascinating about the artistry and science behind it. Since then, i’ve been on the lookout for these types of prints. Whether it’s a framed piece in SM Department Store, or a full exhibit at the Museum of Prague.

Imagine my delight when I found this beautiful wrapper at National Bookstore sometime last year.

It’s a black, printed wrapper with a Botanical motif. Immediately, I was sold! And of course, I proceeded to order 100 pieces of the same wrapper. Harhar!

Botanical prints are predominantly green and white, so I also chose ribbons of the same color. The combination was deep green and off-white.

Then, in keeping with the Botanical theme, I decided to include seeds along with the gift. Each brown envelope included a seed of an herb, flower or vegetable. If you don’t recognize what seed this is, it’s Citronella, just badly spelled.

Finally, the tag. Botanical print - check! Botanical script - check! We’re all set.

And here’s the 2019 Christmas wrapper theme - Botanical!

Oh, the wrapper had an opposite side, too.

Of course I had to do versions using that.

This made this year’s Botanical theme twice the fun!
