Easy As Sunday Morning - Gift Basket

My Sister-In-Law works very hard every week day so for Christmas I wanted to give her a gift that she could enjoy on the weekends.
What better way to relax on a lazy Sunday morning than with a
warm cup of boozy coffee or a cold mimosa? I think she'll love it!

I found a cute vintage makeup case at a thrift store for $3.99. It was missing the mirror. I solved that problem by gluing some scrap fabric from my stash over the area of the missing mirror. I then placed crumpled up paper in the bottom of the case and

covered it with a dish towel and some gift basket filler.

I found some individual serving size bottles of champagne

and a variety of juices for quick and easy mimosas.

Coffee and some liqueurs to flavor it.

Baileys, Amaretto, Chambord and Kahlua.

YUMMY!

And, of course, a few bags of goodies!

Biscotti, homemade fudge and almond roca.

Every gift basket needs some accessories.

Pretty napkins, a coffee mug and a glass for the mimosas.

Everything fit inside the makeup case perfectly!

This is one loaded gift basket!

fabulous work that this issue showcases.

I'm in love with these pendants

by Sophia Hu

And talk about the perfect mix of rustic and beauty!

Linda Bucci's cuff is amazing!

I'm fascinated with the process of enameling with words

that Laura Guenther shares!

Staci L. Smith teaches how to create beautiful pendants
by encasing stones with wire.

(I'm thinking this process could also be used with found seashells or beach glass
to create a favorite vacation memory pendant.)

You won't want to miss this amazing technique called faux embossing that my good friend, Cat Kerr shares!

These are just a few of my favorites but the
Belle Armoire Jewelry Autumn 2015 issue has so many more
techiques and incredible pieces of jewelry that
