My favorite (and only) store for sewing notions have just declared bankruptcy.
They have been my go to store for ages, and even if they’r not the cheapest they are definable the most well stocked.
The most sad thing about it (apart from me not being able to shop there no more) is that they didn’t go bankrupt because of lack of costumers, but because the owner got arrested while traveling and shopping for more beautiful ribbons.
This week I (and every senior citizen who can hold a needle) lined up for the clearance sale.
And here are some of the thing I got…
Cotton ribbons perfect for laces and cording
Cotton velvet in brown and midnight blue
10 m of white and black pleated ribbon.
Many meters of lace
Pompon ribbon and more lace
Feather ribbon
Assorted colors of buttonhole thread
Belt buckles and butterfly patches
Buttons!
Inspiration overload….
