I had a parcel waiting for me when I returned from a few days away last week.
It was the three ribbon racks you see at the back of this shelf. It wasn't until I came to fill them that I realised I had far more ribbons than I thought. There are still some reels in the green trays and yet more odds and ends in drawers... but I'm pleased nevertheless.
I was in Shropshire for a mini break last week followed by my school reunion in North Staffordshire. I discovered too late, that I was only 10 miles away from Wipso and so missed out on a cuppa with her, which was a real shame... but I did get to see Ikki again which was wonderful. We could have chatted and looked at crafty things all day. I'm sure you'd all join me in wishing her husband Dave a speedy recovery after his recent operation.
DO hop over to Julia's (the link is on my sidebar) and have a snoop at the world's workdesks with us!

Love the DRD stamps. I've had a go at the ribbon weaving but always seem to get the tension wrong and end up with a knot or it falls apart! Pam (21)
ReplyDeleteGreat robbon storage, most of mine are in jars to keep them away from my 'other mess' love those tree stamps, have a happy Woyww!
ReplyDelete(Lyn) #58!
I am impressed by all your ribbon. I think you have more than I have, and I thought I had a lot. Of course, it's because I never use ribbon, but still keep buying it, mostly at the second hand store. And ribbon storage is something I always struggle with. I sure like your solution. Glad you like the bigger photos. Thanks for stopping by early today.
ReplyDeleteFunny how we always have more stash than we think we do! Talking of stash, those new stamps are sublime, good choice!
