Stop by for some holiday shopping fun and merriment! Hope to see you soon!!
my name is nancy. i'm a girl realizing a once-upon-a-time dream of running a small shoppe filled with things tiny and precious. parcel, by dictionary definition, means a package; a collection of things. this journal takes a peek inside the parcel.

for goodness sake, where has the time gone?
let's face it, folks - i'm not the best blogger. my intentions are so good, though. i take so many pictures, have so many ideas, and then time just slips away! on the positive side, some of my customers enjoy visiting my shop less frequently and then will spend hours in one visit catching up. so maybe it's more about that. that's the best i've got. so here's hoping you will spend hours catching up here - or possibly just a few long happy moments!
the shop is super chock-full with new (old) tiny trimmings and millinery bits, foil-pressed and handmade cards, toppers and tags, wrapping goodness galore! all packaged in pretty parcels making them gifts in themselves.
...and more to come!

Be a Good Egg or Just Buy One
It's interesting that there are two upcoming holidays that involve eggs. Tonight many people of the Jewish faith (myself included) will have a hard boiled egg on their Seder plate. Sure it's a cameo appearance for the egg, but it's still good egg-sposure (please excuse the awful pun- I couldn't help myself). In the store we've stocked up for the biggest of all egg holidays; of course I'm talking about Easter. Egg farmers must love Easter.
At Parcel we only use the fake stuff- only for treating, not for eating (unless you'd like some delish egg cream molded candies, candy-coated milky eggs, or violet mallows!) We've got many eggs- vintage West German, Japanese fun ones, some new, but mostly old-the way we like 'em. Plus, plenty o' other holiday-related figures and friends just waiting to brighten up your day.
If any of you know the origin of the Easter Bunny and egg relationship, please let us know. Sure I can Google it, but it's way more interesting hearing from y'all!
Stop in, say you're a Good Egg and get a sweet treat...

Lucy's excited!!
Howdy Friends of Parcel!
I want to announce a new feature to the Parcel website. It's called Trinkets, Treasures and Trifles. This is strictly for the one-of-a-kind vintage items that we get in the store. New vintage items will be posted there on a regular basis, so you might want to check back every other day or so. Our goal is to post fresh goodies daily.
This section can be found on the home page of the Parcel website- just scroll down a little bit and you'll find the thumbnails. Please let us know we you think. Thanks!
