Elaine, Charlotta, Carol, Kate and Christelle have all been busy crafting around the
theme of “Ribbon n Buttons” 

Elaine has come up with this delightful Notebook set 


She has used our fab new Vintage butterflies ribbon. 


which includes our vintage key ribbon. 

Elaine asked if I could design a range of “Butterfly” and “vintage” style ribbons.
So pleased you enjoy working with the new ribbons Elaine.

Hello wednesday - Silhouettes or shadows

say helo to wednesday 405

Hello everyone, oh it is so nice to wake up in ones own bed.
Tony and I still feel tired from the shows, but I am sure a few more sleeps
and we will be back to full strength.

Do you remember I told you I ran out of time to launch all the NEW ribbons before I started
the shows - tah dah well here they are.

silhouette animal ribbons

Silhouettes or shadows of dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and dinosaurs.
Each animal group has four different colours. I should say FAB colours.

You can find them here.

Look what our talented design team have been doing with the ribbon.
silhouettes

Super duper creations.

The ribbons are all 25mm grosgrain.  They have been really popular at the shows.
We came back from the NEC with 1 (single one ribbon) of the Garden Rose Rabbit ribbon.
Something to do with Easter soon maybe?

Have a great day everyone – I am hoping to get a few hours to myself today.
Not to take off or go out silly – BUT I have an idea for a NEW range of ribbons.
AND I have been itching to get my ideas laid out.

Ooooh……………….. maybe more new ribbons soon.

I really do think I am going dotty, with all these shows back to back I an not sure what city I am in!
To be honest one exhibition hall looks the same as the next.




Big thanks to everyone that played along with our Friday FREEBIE last week, it is really fun reading all your comments.
Do you like reading the comments too?



Another hotel room but this time in a country pub, only one floor and we are in room 5.
So how about number 5 being our winner this week.
