Just have to brag!

  This is our wonderful daughter, Lindsey, as Maid of Honor
at her BFF's wedding at the Bourne Mansion in NY.  It was the 
most incredible wedding I have ever attended.  Every detail was
perfect and I can't wait to see all of the 1500+ photos that were taken!







Either late for this season or early for next year,
the really cute Crow Paper  finally arrived for
gift wrapping or making those last minute
 Halloween decorations!
$4.95 a large sheet

I want to thank everyone who came to the Tinsel and Treasures Show last weekend
in Danville, Ca.  
Thanks to Iva Wilcox for putting together such a fantastic group of artists.
It was an honor to be among them!  




Now back to the shop:  I just brought in this sooooo cute cloth advertising tape measure
Stanley Home Products with instructions on how to take YOUR own measurements.


 Quick pic of my vintage velvet ribbons.




 Vintage and new, by the yard and scrunched, grab bags too.


Vintage  French wired ombre ribbons for making fabulous flowers



 This is one of the cabinets of "fine things".

Here's a sneak-peak at the notepads I will be selling at Tinsel and Treasures, along with
my glass hinged lid boxes, scrunched and flat ribbons as well as some hand-dyed
and stamped ribbons.

I plan to have a lot of seam binding in the fall colors at the Tinsel and Treasures show.
The pale butter yellow is a vintage one that I just acquired ...love it!  The off-white and pale
 grey are also vintage that only when you get them next to the new ones can you see the difference.
