I have a small collection of pretty woven ribbons. I use the word collection like someone would refer to their stamp collection or coin collection. They are not to be licked and put on envelopes or put into parking meters and vending machines. LIkewise, these ribbons are almost too precious to use! It would have to be the perfect project.
Of course, the more of something you have, the less rare it is and the more likely it will be used for it's purpose. I think I've just talked myself into buying more ribbons! lol
Now it would be gloating and downright rude to show these pretties and not share. As you can see in the picture above, I have a fair amount of owl and dachshund ribbons. This weeks giveaway will be a metre of either the pink owls or dachshund ribbon. or half a metre of each. Your choice. To enter, just leave a comment here and let me know which you would like if you were lucky enough to win. The winner will be chosen at random next Sunday evening after 8pm Adelaide time.
Good luck!
ETA many of the ribbons in the first pic were bought through Crafty Mamas here in Australia.
***newsflash*** ribbon sale on right now until Sunday 8th! 20% off!
A little birdie told me about Ribbons Galore, another Australian site. I feel the urge to splurge.. I thought I better let you know so you can get a ribbon fix too.
ETA a pic of how I keep them organised. NOT!
Oh My Helen! What a wonderful collection you have :) That owl ribbon is just scrummy. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeletewhere do you find that lovely ribbon? I love the one with the caravans on it, so different, and you're right it would have to be a special project to put those ribbons on.

What a great selection of ribbons. Thanks for the giveaway, I think they're both gorgeous, and if I was lucky enough to win, would probably go half and half :)
ReplyDeleteI feel much better about the amount of ribbon that I too am stashing for "that perfect project". But I also believe that at some stage I will cross a line (the line made of gorgeous Euro ribbon of course) where something will snap and I will feel a freedom to use my ribbons with carefree abandon. Another 50 metres and I should be just about there. But don't enter me for your giveaway. I really do have enough...or do I?
ReplyDeleteIf I was really lucky to win, I would like the pink owl. Is so cute...
ReplyDeleteBye!!!

I would hate to offend either lovely ribbon, therefore, I would really love to have half metre of each! Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteOH my goodness, there is major ribbon envy here, I love them. You have the most wonderful collection.
ReplyDeleteOh wow - the owl ribbon is to die for!

ReplyDeleteAnd since I can always add to my collection (I'm not like Tas!), I'd be up for owls. I don't have any owls. :D Thank you Helen!

Ooh I have some of those ribbons too. But I need to get a lot more before I can rival you! If I win I'd love some of each please. Yep I can't make up my mind!
ReplyDeleteThe owl ribbon is fantastic! My mom loves owl, so it would be perfect for a project for her. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous collection of ribbons you have helen! I am in awe. I would love to win either riboons, but maybe the pups a little more.
Thanks so much!
That's a pretty impressive stash Helen! We have a bit of a thang for owls here (courtesy of our frogmouth neighbours outside), however pink will not do for boys. And as Boy appropriate cuteness is always too hard to pass up and girly sweetness is everywhere, we'll go with the doggies if we were lucky enough to be lucky again on your blog.
