Long time, no write!
It's been a while!  A few changes to announce:

1. Store is now available at A Paper Palette (www.apaperpalette.com).  We are still on etsy too!  I'm just slowly trying to move products over to the standalone shop.

2. More colorfast products.  I'm really trying to recreate all of the ribbons into colorfast ribbons.  I have been asked many, many times if the ribbon is colorfast, only to answer "no".  It's time to give customers what they are asking for!!

3. I'm playing around with different fabrics and different techniques.  So far my favorite it this one:

Hand Dyed Silk Ribbon, 5 yards for jewelry making, packaging, weddings, craft supplies, tassels, garland, wands
https://www.etsy.com/listing/288327145/hand-dyed-silk-ribbon-5-yards-for?ref=shop_home_active_43
It's a gorgeous woven silk, hand "painted" rather than dyed.  It is colorfast and will not fade.  The difference in painting vs. dyeing is that in painting the ink sits on top of the fabric rather than penetrating it.  I think it's beautiful, regardless of the coloring method used.  (I'm going to try ice dyeing next!  I'll post the results!!)

4. Crinkle ribbon listings!  I've included a few different crinkle listings - meaning it is just crinkle ribbon / seam binding and a few crinkle ribbon bundles.  I'll be adding more so check back regularly.

5. More craft supplies - miniature bottles have been added to the store!  I use these quite often in my shadow boxes!!  They make great Halloween apothecary bottles for miniature makers too! 

6. We still have lots of hard-to-find Graphic 45 collections like Fashionista, Couture, Good Ole Sport... along with the Graphic 45 window pane shadow boxes at great prices!  Make sure to check us out if you need one!

7. The biggest change is me... I'll do better and post at least once a week!! 

Happy Memorial Day!  I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend!  Make sure to take a moment to thank our service men and women!!
