Holiday gift wrapping: Furoshiki style!

As much as I love giving gifts, I have such fun wrapping them too! Okay, so I'm not the best wrapper, but when it comes to Furoshiki, anyone can look artistic and super cool!

What's furoshiki you ask? It's the Japanese inspired way of wrapping gifts using fabric.  It's eco-friendly and a great way to re-use fabric! 

Furoshiki, Image: All Rights Reserved.

"The Japanese equate wrapping a gift with “wrapping the heart,” so every gift is marked by thoughtfulness and consideration, both for the object housed within the container or wrapping, and for the recipient of the gift. Bringing seemingly start contrasts into harmony — like yin and yang — is central to the idea of any presentation. Rusticity and refinement, the transient and the eternal, the earthy and the sublime: such disparities are made evident — and rendered compatible — in choices of combinations of papers and ties that both emphasize and luxuriate differences in texture as well as, perhaps differences in color or pattern. A crinkled paper lashed with knotted cord, for example, reflects that approach." -Today, MSNBC.com

Here's a video we found for some inspiration:

Are you wrapping gifts this year furoshiki style? Submit your pictures to us for a feature! We'd love to see what you've done!

No Limit Events' First Annual Holiday Toy Drive...Success!

As many of you may know, Justin and I decided to dedicate our first annual holiday toy drive to the Children's Center at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center in Newark, NJ back in October when we first announced our drive.

http://blog.nj.com/ledgerupdates_impact/2008/10/large_bethisrael.jpg

This morning we were able to drop off all the toys and games to the hospital's Children Center (Coordinator: Anne Riley).  Thanks to so many of you who decided to contribute and help us bring smiles, we're able to bring HUGE smiles to kids throughout the hospital!

We had everything from coloring books to crayons/markers, to beanie babies to stuffed polar bears, to legos and barbie dolls and more!  Thanks to all our support and a few other gracious donors, they have an entire utility storage closet FULL of toys and games to be shared not only during this holiday season, but for the rest of the year as they need to!

Special thanks to the following thoughtful contributors to this year's drive:

• AKZMe Designs
• All Kinds of Whoopie 
• Beautiful Beyond Dreams, LLC
• Cardboxdiva.com
• Evenings of Elegance
• Favors & More, LLC
• Favors by Dorinda
• Invitations by Tracey
• Jand Consulting, LLC 
• Lil' Shopaholick
• Lori L., Tech. Teacher at CCMS
• Pink Jewels
• Rare Occasions, Inc.
• Stylish Weddings & Things, LLC
• This Moment Events
• Tony G., WedAlert Corp.

If I've missed anyone, forgive me! We had a lot of gracious donors like you and have honestly been overwhelmed by all the amazing support. Note that any oversight on my part stops there.  The hospital, again, is beyond appreciative for every little gift we've brought.

Again, THANK YOU! We cannot wait to be Santa's elves next year again and look forward to your support in 2012.

Have a wonderful holiday, stay warm, be merry and be sure to laugh and love a lot!


Justin & Gabriela

Wedding Wednesday: Vendor feature of the month!

Company feature of the month: 

KARMA Flowers! 

                                            Web site:  www.karmaflowers.com

                                            E-mail:  karmaflowers@gmail.com

                                            Telephone Number:  609-558-2655

                                            Twitter handle:  @karmaflowersllc

                                            Blog:www.karmaflowers.blogspot.com

Summary of Business/Specialties: We love to embrace life's sweetest moments and we can help you celebrate the real doozies by creating the most gorgeous, garden inspired floral accents for your special days...  weddings, engagements, birthdays, holidays, religious milestones, bridal and baby showers... heck you come up with ANY reason to celebrate and we will show up for the party! (with the flowers, of course)

Karma Flowers embraces an organic design sentiment by offering fresh, hand-selected flowers, accompanied by unexpected elements such as fruits, branches, berries, and vegetables. We take advantage of local, seasonal flowers and plants where possible. And, one of our most favorite parts of the process is finding the unique vases and vessels we will use to display your memorable floral arrangements. We like to think outside the vase. Each piece will be handpicked to best suite your overall design statement. Our promise is that each arrangement will be a unique, personal, reflection of you.

Karma Flowers is based out of New Jersey, but we offer our services (and quite frequently find ourselves) in New York and Pennsylvania as well. We are also available for events a bit further than the tri-state, just inquire. 

Getting married? Allow us to carry your vision from your engagement party and bridal shower through to your rehearsal dinner, and of course, big day. 

Fun facts/Special Quality Features: What grows around, comes around.

Our mantra in business, and in life, is to do good by others, giving back wherever possible - and when you shop with Karma Flowers you can rest assured you are too!  A portion of every sale from Karma Flowers is donated to a local charity   so many benefit from the commerce of nature’s goods. 

When you book with Karma Flowers,  you decide where our charitable donation goes. It's that easy. If you would like to use this donation in lieu of a traditional party favor, we will help you tell your guests.

Are you a local charity that would like to set up a fundraiser with us? Drop us an email and we will work with you to see that it happens.
