I often love to make gifts of the many little vintage treasures that I find....and I like to package them in a fun way!
Three of my quilting friends and I had a day put aside to applique together....and I wanted to give each of them a sweet treat to remember our day together.
I thought I would show you what I did. I didn't have time to make tags like I usually do...so instead I looked inside my studio cupboards to see what I could use in a pinch....and my eyes rested upon this pink ticket roll...yes, I picked it up at a thrift shop! 
I grabbed some pink tule and cellophane....
I filled a little vintage creamer with salt water taffy (one of my favorites)....and wrapped it up.
I tied a tag on
that read..."you're the cream of the crop!"
I did the same with this depression glass sugar bowl....and the tag read...

And did the same for a vintage crystal sugar bowl. These also make fun take-homes after a luncheon and the ticket could also be used as a place card!

They can hold jams, syrups, salad dressings, salsa, dip and even after dinner mints!
I hope I have inspired you to find many uses for abandoned vintage items and to look at single sugars and creamers in a new way!
