Creative Ways to Use a Tea Towel
A few years ago we discovered the most beautiful tea towels from Studiopatró, a lovely San Francisco-based company. This "Piece of Cake" tea towel made such a sweet and eco-chic gift in a past Celebrate gift package, that we knew we had to bring the brand back to our shop.
Our all-new Just Because gift package features a "Life is Delicious" tea towel from Studiopatró that is perfect for all of your fall gifting needs. It makes a lovely hostess gift, Thinking of You, or simply Just Because.
There are several creative ways you can use a tea towel, such as wrapping a gift like a recipe book - perfect for a thank you or hostess gift.

Behind-the-Scenes: Meet Hannah Wexler!
VelvetCrate is proud to be a sister-owned and operated business, but we'd be lying if we said we could do it all without some behind-the-scenes assistance. Allow us to introduce Hannah Wexler, a recent high school graduate with a passion for graphic design. Hannah has helped assist us with designs for the website, emails, and social media. She's a design rock star and we are so thankful to have her on the VelvetCrate team!
Hannah realized her love for visual arts during her four years on her school yearbook staff, of which she was the Editor-in-Chief her senior year. She is a self-proclaimed fontaholic, branding enthusiast, and Adobe Illustrator nerd, and her most prized possessions are her MacBook, calligraphy pen set, and "award-winning" Pinterest feed. She is inspired by all things pastel, floral, and gold, and her eye for design pairs with her interest in marketing and branding. Hannah is headed to the University of Kansas this fall to pursue a major in Visual Communications - Graphic Design and is excited to further develop her skills and become a full-time creative.
