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.

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! :)

Roses are red.....
Look at what's just arrived in the shop.....these gorgeous scrummy sheer roses ribbon from May Arts. We have it in red, pink and white. Perfect finish to any project, either in a strip or perhaps just a single rose?
We also have May Arts Silky Crush ribbon wired in several colours. This ribbon makes great bows and as its wired, it really helps those of us who find making pretty bows fiddly.
I am anxiously waiting for our next order of seam binding. It is so easy to get lost with the number of colours it comes in. There are around a dozen new colours winging their way over. I will post an update as soon as they arrive.

I just love the colours of this satin pleat ribbon - teal. We also have it in pale pink and ivory.
