Tina, of The Enchanted Home fame, and I might both attribute kismet to the force behind our most recent collaboration as the alignment or our artistic visions is fairly undeniable in some of the work we do! However, in truth, my assistant, Rosa, did a bit of intuitive matchmaking. After seeing an enthusiastic amount of blue and white in The Enchanted Home’s Instagram feed, she immediately recognized that we are both charmingly fanatical about this color combo (as seen in my book A Passion for Blue and White from 2008). Rosa reached out to Tina. We met (virtually) just over a year ago and the rest was, as they say, history.
Needless to say, I began my research of further understanding Tina’s chic aesthetic by familiarizing myself with her beautifully curated website. I quickly discovered we had an affinity for many of the same things and a mutual admiration for each other’s work quickly blossomed. Tina sent me a magnificent blue and white tulipiere from The Enchanted Home – a piece I simply adore.
Tina and I also share a longstanding love of gift wrapping. In 2001, I designed and sold a line of gift wrapping paper and accessories on my website, which inspired me to write my book Presentations in 2005. To me, gift wrapping is a version of a first impression (and sets the tone for our most festive and personal holidays) and in Tina, I found a fellow enthusiast in impeccable presentation. We both agree that the charm and beauty of a gift is often in its well-considered packaging.
I had recently completed a painting of lily-of-the-valley (which, as my birth flower, has been a life-long favorite of mine). Tina had just done a set of cards with the same flower for her website so this theme seemed fitting for our inaugural endeavor!
Today, we are so thrilled to introduce you to our lily-of-the-valley gift wrapping, the first in our line of products together to be released!
It’s unbelievable to think that throughout this exciting process and partnership we have not met face-to-face because of COVID! Despite these uniquely challenging times (which affected everything from production to delivery) ours has been a true marriage of our collective professional experience, enhanced by our individual tastes and deep love of design and entertaining. These products are a reflection of the way we love to live and gather guests in our homes. We hope they bring joy and beauty to your tables and celebrations!
Stay tuned for the second part of our collaboration to be unveiled in days to come. I can’t wait to share the next products – they are one of my personal favorites!
The Enchanted home has special introductory offers on our collaborative line that you won’t want to miss. You may purchase our new products on The Enchanted Home’s website.
Happy Shopping!

Looking forward to ordering online! It just looks so lovely!

Beautiful gift wrapping, can’t wait for the second part of your collaboration!
April – thank you so much! We are very exciting for things to come as well!
This was a lovely post, but I could not find your gift wrapping for sale. Can you let us know when it will be available?
Thank you so much,

Hi Mary Sue,
There is a link to The Enchanted Home’s website at the end of this post. It directs you to a post of Tina’s that has ordering information at the end. Reach out to me if you have any trouble finding this. Thanks so much!
I was so glad to see another post from you, Carolyne!
The new gift wrap line is absolutely stunning. I’ve always loved lily of the valley and you’ve made it even more elegant.
(This will make a lovely choice for wedding gifts to be wrapped.)
Bravo!
Best wishes and health to you and your wonderful team.
Viffy – it would make a beautiful wrapping for a wedding gift. We tried to make it suitable for a number of occasions –
I for one, cannot wait to see gifts piled underneath my tree with this paper. It’s elegant without being fussy so you can pair it with any accessories (ribbons, tags, etc)! We hope you enjoy it!
This is my favorite email this year! I have lily-of-the-valley wallpaper in our bathroom and have loved it for 19 years. You chose stunning colors for your items and both are favorites. Thank you ladies for providing my Christmas in September.
Judy – I love the fact that you have lily-of-the-valley wallpaper in your house! You will surely enjoy our wrapping paper, then! We are so thrilled with how it turned out. We hope you enjoy it as well. Happy wrapping!
Your gift of creativity is like a never-ending fountain – a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y smitten by the wrapping paper, the play of colour and design. Always an inspiration. From that gentleman in South Africa who is as passionate about blue & white, as you are.
Best wishes.

Darrol – thank you so much! I’m so happy that you love the wrapping paper and I know The Enchanted Home ships far and wide! What’s not to love about blue and white? – so clean and crisp yet calm and serene at the same time. We all need more of that in our lives right now! Be safe and be well.
