Handcrafted Gift Box for Tea Lovers

I created this Handcrafted Gift Box for Tea Lovers for a raffle item at the 2016 Community Showcase. I will be at this year's Community Showcase to share the Close To My Heart products available and some of the items I have created with them.

The papers and cup will be the same, but the teas and snacks may be different. The sleeve on the reusable cup is for decorative purposes. The included gift card (if you decide to give the box to a friend) has "You're like a cup of tea, you warm my heart" stamped inside.

Are you asking yourself what the 2016 Community Showcase is? It is sponsored by the Spencer Chamber of Commerce, SVE Central School and Inspire S-VE, Inc. and is held at the SVE High School (16 Dartts Cross Road, Spencer, NY - if you are traveling on Route 34 between Spencer and Van Etten you can see the school on the South side of the road). Here is a map:



The event takes place on Sunday, March 6 and the doors are open from 1pm to 4pm.

In 2015 there were 73 exhibitors and "all businesses that sell, barter, or give away good and services". I have also read that "the [Spencer] Chamber [of Commerce], Haefele TV and Tioga State Bank are going together for a large cash raffle" and it is my understanding that many of the exhibitors have raffles at their booths (I thought I would have two - stop back tomorrow to learn about my other raffle item). The SVE Jazz Band and other groups will be providing entertainment.
