Sweet reminders........

Wouldn't these be sweet as a petite gift? For someone who just needs a smile in their day, a delicate reminder that you are thinking of them. You know the reasons, maybe even Valentines. A pretty narrow ribbon tied in a bow is all that is needed. Drop it on their doorstep as a little surprise......

Written words can mean so much, remind someone they are in  your thoughts with a few words or enough to fill a page or two. Beautifully handwritten, always more meaningful. It is one of our special pleasures to send and receive. Not just this week, but any week of the year. Catching up on a few of my own today.

Royal Purple

Have nerves of steel? Decisive in your choices? Not a colour for the faint-hearted.

Positively brave.......gorgeous isn't it?

The purple storefront of VV Rouleaux, no.... not in Paris. Two locations in London, England, one at 54 Sloane Street, the other at 102 Marylebone Lane. Known as the Chanel of ribbon and passementerie. Full of ribbons, trimmings, tassels, flowers and display decorations.




People spend hours there.....obviously! They must mean days....


V Rouleaux owner Annabel Lewis has a book
Ribbons & Trims - Embellishing Furniture, Furnishings and Home Accessories.
She forgot to mention gifts. You can see and order it here.


Layered ribbons and colours wrap Spring Fresh sachets for Easter.
