Yellows are fun
Purples ones bright.
Turquoises gleam.
Blacks are the night!

Come buy my ribbons !

They're as glitzy as bling.

And lets face the truth...

They're better than string!!! ;-)

Last year, I bought some decorative decals on ebay and I started to transfer them onto some jam jars.

That's as far as I got.

At about the same time I bought some Union Flag coasters.

Yesterday, I was sitting quietly, thinking.

Suddenly, I thought..ah now there's an idea !

I have a great source for ribbons...a friend in the US fills a bag for me, for whatever price I ask, with whatever colours, designs and widths I ask for..and hey presto!

I never know exactly what I will get but it's always a fantastic selection .

So I put a selection of ribbons into the jars and I topped them with their little, vintage fabric, mop caps!

I stuck the jars on to the coasters, thinking that they might not stick.

( I bought some of that Eco glue from Paperchase, which I've not used before!)

Well they've stuck fast!

I know these will pretty up my stalls at the various fairs I've been invited to do.

More about that later.

Meanwhile..I am completely in love with this piece of fabric!

I'm planning on making a cushion with it.

And finally...

Mothering Sunday gifts from my lovely children.

Hope everyone's week is going well!
