Introducing Hostess Gift Sets!

Need a quick, unique, elegant, hand-made gift to take to your next soiree or dinner party? Order one of our Hostess Gift Sets today.

We strive to maximize each bolt of fabric and have sized our products to optimize a standard bolt, but sometimes we are left with a little bit extra due to how the fabric comes to us from the distributor. Each gift set consists of four matched fabric coasters, pre-packaged in a small Wrapagain for only $14.95. Because it's pre-wrapped for you, all you have to do is show up to your party and take all the credit for a fabulous hostess gift.

These sets are available in extremely limited quantities -- we're awfully good at optimizing our bolts -- but we thought you'd like them.

Currently, we have a set or two available in the following patterns: Seeing Red, Line Dance, Gold leaf and All, and My Blue Heaven (seen above and at right).

See our store for details and availability.

PS  While we encourage "giving again" especially when it comes to sharing your Wrapagains, we aren't re-gifting the wine glasses in the photos. They're ours and you can't have them. :)

I Got the Rest!

Growing up the youngest of three, I always looked for ways to bug my older brothers – because I could, you know, and I’m pretty sure that’s part of the job description of being the little sister.

Mike, me, and Brian in Kansas City, circa 1980.

Dessert always seemed that much sweeter when I happened to get the last butterscotch brownie, the last springerle at Christmas, or last slice of birthday cake – when it wasn’t even my birthday.

It was also very sweet when I got to tell them (insert childlike sing-songy voice), "I got the rest! I got the rest!"

Bratty? Probably.
Worth it? You betcha.

So we're giving YOU a chance to get "the rest." Visit us at the sixth annual Ottawa Hills Fall Festival this weekend (September 25 from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm) for some sweet, discontinued patterns.
   

Green is the new white.

Let us help you make your wedding greener! Wrapagain is excited to have been invited to be a vendor at the 2010 Hayes Presidential Center Bridal Exposition on Sunday, September 12 at Spiegel grove in Fremont, Ohio.

• Download a flyer from for this event (PDF).

From the flyer:

"If a wedding is in your future, the Hayes Presidential Center Bridal Exposition will introduce you to the Center’s new Grounds Rental options, while highlighting area wedding-related services that can make your special day magical!

Rather than one impersonal hall, vendor displays are scattered amid the grounds of Spiegel Grove and inside the Hayes Museum. The Hayes Home veranda is the site of a 3:00 p.m. Bridal Style Show."

Vendors displays will be scattered amid the grounds of Spiegel Hall and inside the Hayes Museum and available from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. Wrapagain will be set up inside the Museum. For brides and grooms, we offer package deals on attendant gift sets and registry.

A $2 admission and a validated ticket also get you entered to win door prizes donated by all of the vendors.

We invite you to RSVP to this event on our Facebook page.

It's been a long (lonely, lonely, lonely) time.

Boy, have we been busy. First, we hope all y'all saw our article in the July 2010 Toledo edition of Abec's Small Business Review. If you happened to have missed it, you can check it out here:

Next up, we are pleased as punch to be sewing again. We think you're gonna love our new selections! We're adding in three new patterns for the end-of-summer/start-of-show-season. Start your comments on name suggestions. We have already decided on the blue-on-blue name: My Blue Heaven (unless you can convince us otherwise). The other two are up to you!
