Lace & Leaves

We have just received our latest shipment of gorgeous May Arts ribbons. There are a few new products, as well as additonal colours added to our existing range.

We couldn't resist this cute leaf trim in parrot green, the add the perfect touch to any flower cluster on your project.

You can do so much with this Twisted Burlap, use it it to tie buttons to your projects - raspberry, olive and natural colours in stock.

We {heart} lace on our projects and it was about time we increased our range. Unfortunately, not all of our lace stock has come in but we have two new white laces. This can easily be tea stained to give it a vintage and shabby look.

We couldn't resist this Organic Cotton ribbon, which can also be tea stained to create a vintage and shabby look. We currently have natural, pink and light blue.

We have six new colours of seam binding due in any day. Our Divine Bakers Twine Packs will be available again soon, we're just waiting on new stock of Airmail and Apple Green.

In a vintage style...

I just love when we get a new delivery of ribbons, whether they are just new colours or new fabrics and patterns. I'm pleased to say that we have had both added to the shop over the last couple of days.

Silky Crush ribbon in teal - this ribbon is actually made from polyester to look like silk and is absolutely gorgeous (can you tell teal is my favourite colour!).


We have this cute vintage style lace and velvet ribbon in sweetpea and pink.


You can never have too much seam binding. We are continually adding to our colour range but with over 200 to choose from its been difficult not to get carried away. If there is a particular colour range we have missed out or a specific colour that you need, let us know and we can order it in. There are 8 new colours now in the shop.

All this talk of ribbons, I feel the need to make a couple of cards using some of the products.

Keep smiling :)

DCM Prize Winner

I'm a little late posting but wanted to congratulate the super talented Zuzana on her win over at the DCM blog. Here is the cute card that won her the prize which we donated.

The designers over at the Daring Cardmakers created such beautiful cards using ribbons / twine / buttons from our shop. I really enjoyed seeing what everyone created - these girls are great, why not pop over and join in the next 'dare'.

TFL! :)
