Pretty Ribbon
The Echoes of the Past annual trade show happened here in Oshkosh last weekend. You can buy old trading beads, fancy ribbons, leather goods, fur trading goods, tin-smithed goods ... It's kind of a neat gathering simulating colonial times.
I bought some fancy ribbons. The lady who sells them said she got them when she was living in Hong Kong years ago, and she and her husband could bring suitcases full on their trips back to the US. Prices were very reasonable at $2.50 and $3.50 / yard.
Most of these ribbons will be B-day gifts for my friend, Janna, who also appreciates these little pretties.
The wider one will likely become a shoulder strap for a new bag / purse. Some things are easier to purchase than to make!
