Ribbons from The Big Apple

These beautiful ribbons have arrived  from New York.  12 feet, nearly 4 metres, on each spool, they look good enough just displayed.  Would you dare to use  them?

Pretty polka dots or sumptuous velvets in every colour imaginable!  I shall be adding these delights to the website next week.  They are £5 per spool and I only have a limited number of them.

New Stock

Another busy week, where does the time go?  Lots of lovely new stock came in this week. More beautiful ribbons, new colours and designs for Spring/Summer.

These are just a few of them.  They will be going into the shop next week.

Also being added will be these sweet haberdashery items. Great idea for gifts or for a young person just about to start sewing.  Such pretty colours!

And of course the week would not be complete unless I had some new fabrics now would it?  This week I am adding lots of new silks, crepes, cottons and rayons suitable  for dressmaking. I can just see this lot as pretty summer dresses can't you?

More Fabric and Ribbons

The website has been updated with lots of new fabrics this week including some gorgeous quilting pieces, children's fabrics and dress lengths from the 1940's and 1950's, perfect for spring or summer dresses.

Also new to the website this week are some gorgeous cotton grossgrain ribbons and printed Happy Birthday ribbons.  At 50p per metre they are perfect for tying up Mother's Day or Easter gifts and decorations.

 

 

I have also bought some fabrics to keep. In conjunction with the exhibition on quilts at the 

V and A, Liberty have produced a limited edition print cotton. My little bundle arrived today and I am thrilled with them. I love them so much I have had to buy a few more!

Imagine my surprise on opening this month's issue of BBC Homes and Antiques to find a picture of my kitchen included in their feature 'Kitchens to Inspire'.  This was from a photo shoot by the Times taken 2 years ago now.  I think after 2 years the photographer can sell his photos on to another magazine.  It was unexpected and I am honoured to be the inspirational 'Vintage English' kitchen!
