We will be closed Saturday for Memorial weekend. Have a great weekend, see you Tuesday!!

Spring Has Sprung!

Look at all these gorgeous hair bows! It is so fun to mix double ruffle ribbon with grosgrain or satin! We have lots of May Arts ribbon in these bows. The reasons why our bows are so cute and popular is that we mix textures of many different ribbons in our bows. Double Faced Satins mixed with grosgrain, double ruffle, picot, velvet, sheers...all of it! Mix patterns also, stripes, checks, polka dots, what is great about mixing all of these patterns and textures is that they give a very rich, luxurious look to all these bows.  So as a reminder for other projects you use ribbons for, is to use texture, don't be afraid of them. Mix patterns, mix dots and stripes, mix something rough like burlap with something soft like silk.  It will add interest to your projects, making them personal.

Midori Dupioni Silk Ribbon

 This Midori Ribbon is one of more popular of the Midori Ribbons that we carry. It is cut on the bias, the colors are so rich and deep. We carry many of the colors and are able to order others.

May Arts Silk Ribbon

May Arts silk ribbon is one of the most popular ribbon we sell. The colors are gorgeous! They come in 1/4 inch and 1 1/4 inch. 

Why ribbon?

You know it is interesting how many people have a hard time liking their job. I love mine! I have always heard from gurus and such to do what you love, the money will follow. Well, I am still waiting on the money part, but I am dong what I love.  I love talking to people, and that is what I do. I really do have the best customers, maybe there is one in every 200 that walk through my door that I could probably do without, but I know they have needs and usually it is a need to be loved, so that is what I try to do, is to love helping them find what they need.

Ribbon is an interesting concept for a store, but I have found it is a wonderful way to connect with people. For some it is an obsession, for others it is a way of perfecting their craft or event and for most people, it is pure luxury. The ribbon here is luxurious, most in this store is made in the USA, some from Europe and VERY little from Asia. It seems that with this store, you either get the concept, or you don't. I appreciate everyone that walks through here, because they get what we are all about and appreciate it, or they are newbies figuring us out and ultimately realizing how cool this place really is.

My customers appreciate local business, they appreciate quality and service, and this is why it is so easy to love them and to talk to them and this is why I am so flexible on ordering what you need, and getting the custom orders done fast. As I say at the top of this blog, we are creative and you do inspire us...it happens every day!

A few Bows for costumes...

This bow is for a little pumpkin. The mom wanted to add some pink just to be a little different. I really like the ric rac and sequin strand hanging down from the bow. 

This one is for a little mermaid costume,  I like how we added the feathers to the bow and gave it a lot of dimension.
