That is my favorite background fill and shows off your feathers beautifully. My first instinct on the envelops was for cutlery.

There open work on the sides and at the edge is only on the flap and when you look at the construction on the interior it appears that all six were made to be envelopes. Initially I thought silverware/cutlery envelops but they could also be hankie holders. What is throwing me is that they are an identical set of six so I'm leaning more towards silverware holders.Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166374693095867682noreply@blogger.com
