Guilt-Free Goodies from D-Lightful Designs

Because I am always talking about packaging, in particular about how recyclable it is (or isn't), I have to share something with you really quick.

I love the clay food made by Deborah of D-Lightful Designs.  Deborah is the artist behind the amazing cake slice that Sybarite Swallow is gazing at in my earlier post.  Here's a little reminder:

So anyway, I ordered more yummies from Deborah a while ago and she mentioned that she was testing a new type of packaging.  Cool.

I am always excited to get goodies in the mail, but imagine my glee when this eco-friendly package arrived:  

Ignore the postal stickers and look at the lovely blue stamp designs!

This tiny, beautiful package is not only recyclable, but is already being recycled.  That's taking it to the next level.   It's also easy to open:

It's a good idea to give me little tips like this.  I need them.

Made from the box of one of my favorite cereals. :)

The box was packed with golden tissue paper:

And just a little bit of bubble wrap:

Inside the bubble wrap was this delicate net drawstring bag:

With my four items all individually wrapped and perfectly intact:

These treasures are so tiny, and yet they have amazing little details.

The cake is attached to the china plate.  It even has tiny little crumbs!

This tall, elegant drink has a very realistic lemon slice at the top:

Admiring its own reflection...

This chocolate pudding and raspberry dessert makes me drool every time I look at it!

Oh, yum.

And last--a martini, complete with two miniscule green olives:

Cheers!

And here's that amazing chocolate cake, because I know you want to see it again:

This is still my favorite.  It looks completely real to me.

Chelsea rushed in and grabbed the pudding (the Ty girl's top teeth were still drying, so she couldn't have it anyway...):

Artsy tried the lemonade...

My Stardoll offered a toast to recyclable packaging...

And Rochelle grabbed the cake:

Oh, my gosh, you got me cake??

Well, I am pretty awesome.  It does make sense.

And, it has one of my favorite colors...pink!

Wanna share?

Bottom line?  Deborah's highly affordable and beautifully made miniatures are the perfect treat for any day.  The cakes, cookies and drinks look every bit as appetizing in real life as they do in her gorgeous, bright pictures.  All of that, combined with what is literally the best packaging I have ever seen, make these purchases as tempting as real cake, but 100% guilt free.
