Put a ribbon on it
I have always had a ribbon habit. I remember my Primary Ballet exam, way back many years ago. I recall some nerves about the exam itself and I retain some memory of all the practise but my overwhelming memory is of the dress.
A white embroidery anglaise cotton dress. It was sleeveless with a simple round neck, fitted bodice and flared skirt. I loved that white embroidered cotton, I remember my fascination with the pattern and tracing it over and over with my fingertips. I could hardly sleep for wishing to wear that dress.
The crowning glory of the dress was its ribbon sash. A thick navy blue velvet ribbon - rich, soft velvety ribbon. I loved the plush pile and the perfect bow it made. There was extra ribbon too, enough for my hair. Two high pigtails, curled and tied with ribbon.
I know, it sounds so very old fashioned now. I had actual ringlets in my hair! I have no idea what they wear nowadays, I am pretty sure it involves lycra.
That was the beginning of my ribbon love.
Now I have a jar stuffed full of scraps and I try to use every last little piece. I have longer pieces hanging from my pin board and stuffed into tiny drawers and sometimes I day dream about being locked overnight in V W Rouleaux. I still love velvet but I think my overwhelming preference these days is for grosgrain. The very word itself is so satisfying. Grosgrain.
I like it plain.
I like it striped.
Naturally I need to keep coming up more reasons to stash ribbon and right now it's bookmarks which you can find in the Handmade at Poshyarns shop.

appears to be developing throughout this particular subject
matter, all your
viewpoints are relatively stimulating. On the other hand, I am sorry, but I do not
subscribe to your entire strategy, all be it radical none the
less. It looks to me that your commentary
are actually not totally justified and in actuality you are yourself not really fully
convinced of your argument. In any case I did take pleasure in looking at it.
