i went into the sweetest, tiniest shop the other day called Special.   Everything is handmade by the owner, Heather (jewelry and hair accessories).  She had a lovely display idea:  wrapping paper!  she wrapped tin cans, boxes, bottles – whatever shapes she needed to create her displays.  it made the whole store look cohesive and charming.  this would be a very easy way to update your look as well.  some of my favorite wrapping papers are whimsypress,  pikku, waste not paper, and vigo.  the inspiration is overwhelming!  (i am a paper fiend).  have any tips for great paper?
