Postie's been!



Oh, I do like an online shop that delivers quickly!

 On Tuesday morning, at about quarter to eleven, I came across 'Ribbon Girl' online.

 I placed an order for silk ribbon - oh, and a few other items that proved irresistible - as I was a bit dissatisfied with the shiny, synthetic-y ribbon I'd put on the ballet wrap. (Thanks for all the nice comments!)

 By yesterday morning, when we returned from a walk mid-morning, the postman had been, delivering a lovely squishy package!

 What loveliness within!

 A super-cheap bundle of twelve pastel four inch zips - oh I have plans for these!
A special offer - won't be around long!


 Some scrunched taffeta ribbon...

 The silk ribbon, nice and wide and oh-so-soft...

 Some twill ribbon...
19mm twill ribbon
Some faux silk ribbon - just to make sure the real silk is what I really like, which it is!

 And some vintage style seam binding...

Ribbon Girl doesn't just sell things that make a sewing-fiend like me sing, it has lots for papercrafters, scrapbookers and the like!  And there is a regular giveaway on the blog.

 I have not been 'sponsored' to do this post, just in case anyone suspects my motives!  I'm just happy to spread the word about online suppliers who offer a great service.

    Thanks for this. I used to have a brill ribbon supplier but they closed and I have been looking for an alternative ever since. I shall check Ribbon Girl out. I love the ballet wrap by the way. M x
