Don’t you just love an invite to a friend’s cottage by the lake or home by the sea?!  Show up with a fresh baked pie (who said it has to be by you) in a large cardboard clamshell and you’ll be sure to be asked back.

If you were to ask what one of the top 10 selling products at Garnish is, we’d answer the “do me a favor” glassine bag.  They are so pretty in their simplicity and totally versatile.  You love them, we love them, and here are six different ways you can use them.

  1. Crackers and cheese in a large glassine bag.  Fun for appetizers, picnics or an outdoor soiree.  And if you have folks in your group who don’t enjoy the thought of a community appetizer plate, well than this will definitely be a hit!
  2. Let the sun shine in and the gift shine through.  The medium glassine bag with a gift card tucked in, adhered to a pretty note card.  Well, that’s just plain pretty
  3. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m terrible at putting music mixes together and love it when others do it for me.  A welcomed favor at a wedding or party, music cd in an extra large glassine bag closed with a bit of twine.
  4. Wondering what to bring your gracious hostess?  How about a stack of coasters in a large glassine bag.  Always needed on warm summer days to protect the tables from those inevitable sweaty drink glasses.  Garnished with twine and nestled in a wooden pint size berry box.
  5. How cute is this?!  Use the small glassine bag as a cutlery holder (of course we are choosing the wooden disposable cutlery and the all so cute straw) which can also double as a place card.  Loving this!
  6. Who says you need to use a regular ol’ envelope for an invite?  Get out a pair of fancy scissors to trim the top and give it a wee stitch and you’ve just created an invite that pops.

Do me a favor, share your favorite glassine bag idea(s).  Click on the pic to see the glassine in all it’s glory.

We’re taking a small breather here at Garnish (don’t fret…shipping is still going strong!) so we can re-stock, re-group, and plan ahead.  As we look at bringing in some new products (egads with excitement!) we’re wondering…is there something you would love to see on the Garnish shelves?  Something caught your eye and you’re thinking geez, wish I could find that someplace, somewhere I can buy only what I need.

Us Garnish folk aim to please so we’d love to hear what you’re thinking.  And we’ll even take it one step further.  A discount for those who share what’s on their mind!

So, we ask, if you had a Garnish wish…what-oh-what would it be?!

Garnish + Enjoy
