Ribbon work purse!

I am so enthralled with ribbon work right now. I hope I can learn how to make roses and buds and little scrolls with French silk ribbons.

I bought this little purse on EBay a few weeks ago I adore it. I have it on my mantle with a few other vintage items.. I bid on the exquisite bonnet on EBay and lost-- very disappointed as it was a superb example.

I enjoy sharing my treasures and they inspire me to try to learn new things. Living my "pink" life includes enjoying things from the past while learning new things in the present.

Silk ribbon embroidery

Ribbons are another passion and I am lucky to have Nicholas Kniel Ribbon shop so close to my home. I have been seeing wonderful silk ribbon work items on Etsy and Ebay and Pinterest lately and now want to try my hand at making something simple that I can apply to some other fabric or box.

It all looks totally beautiful and creative.  Wish me luck  I enjoy seeing these wonderful feminine treasures.

One on-line shop that offers a lovely selection is a Japanese web site Eglantyne:

They have many pretty things and it gets to USA rather quickly.
