I walk to my mailbox, in quiet anticipation, hoping that today is the day when my fabulous jewelry will arrive. Wait. I see a yellow, bubble envelope. Could this be it? Oh, joy! It's from a Kish in Cleveland, Ohio, and it feels like there's a gift box inside! I carelessly rip open the envelope because with all this bubble wrap and cardboard, I know I can't possibly damage anything. I pull out a lovely, shiny, black box with a ribbon tied around it.
I delicately untie the ribbon. One simple, satiny pull is all it takes. Now I can see the image on the box. Ah, yes, the Screaming Man. A trademark of the artist. But let's get to the good stuff. I open the lid.
Oh, lovely. Some business cards that I can pass out to my friends because I'll want to tell them where I got this fabulous jewelry when they compliment me on it.
And there she is, waiting patiently for me to notice her. My beautiful piece, still tucked away in her temporary bed, snug like a bug in a rug. I lift the handmade card from the box, so that I may remove her ribbon dress to get a better look.
Oh, the card is so pretty. The back is reinforced with a black cardstock. Very sturdy. And such a pretty design on the front. The artist obviously made this card specifically for this piece. The name is even written on the card as well as the artist's signature. I'll have to go back to her store when I want to get a gift for someone. This packaging is so nice!
So that's it. This is merely a sample of packaging, mind you. The cards are definitely made to complement the piece and no card is ever the same. I hope you enjoyed this little journey through what I imagine your experience would be like. Now go buy something, so you can experience it for real!
