Are you as crazy about ribbon as I am?
No maybe not.
In which case turn away now….no just kidding
If you do love it then you might enjoy these pics.
Like I mentioned in a previous post I love playing with the ribbons and
get pretty excited when I find someone that shares my passion for them too.
Now I don’t often have them just laying around in a big jumbled mess though after photographing
them this way all I could think of was wouldn’t it be
great if I could have long strips of them hanging there for people to run there fingers thru.
That to me would just be so fantastic.
Maybe Santa will bring me more room for my ribbon so I can
do that next year.
haha
Right G?
I’m working on making cuffs out of these.
Every time I look at these they remind me of Magnolia Pearl but without the lace….. just the yummy velvet.
I’m thinking of changing my sewing room to look like one of her rooms…
I wish!
It’s so not right now.
But with a little velvet and lace it just might come close.
See I got a little carried away unrolling spools and finding like colors.
I love watching the faces of people as they try to figure out what they could
to do with it. It’s really endless but I do get asked all the time.
Just a few other ideas…….
Tie backs
hanging cards from
hair accessories
draped on a mantel
napkin rings
trim on clothing
rosettes
Do you have a special way of using ribbon?
I really do carry red ribbon for the true traditional
Christmas customers but forgot to take pictures of it.
It’s still what I sell the most of….what can I say?
Can you believe Christmas is only 10 days away?
It’s just flying by but we do have one tree in the house…..
that’s early for us but still not decorated.
Maybe tonight!
You know me I’ll still be decorating after Christmas….
I know I’m weird!
I think I’m going to keep it simple this year.
We’ll see if I can……

Hi Carole, WOW, these are the most exquisite ribbons I've ever seen! No wonder you like to play around with them! They are real eye-catchers, no matter what you would use them for.
Have a lovely Thursday, my friend :-)!

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! I'd love to rummage through your collection and buy a few meters of some of them.
What would I do with them? Just keep them because they're beautiful, maybe someday use them on some clothing or use them in my miniature scenes.

Ribbons have never looked so gorgeous! I love ribbon too. I can never have enough, expecially vintage ribbon. That is the ultimate. I just bought a large spool of vintage peach colored ribbon. Can't wait to wrap it around something;) Hope you and George have a wonderful Christmas!
