Ribbon Crush

I have a confession to make: I am a ribbon addict.  Perhaps you've never heard of one.  Allow me to illustrate.

I hoard ribbon.  I can't bear to see a piece of beautiful cloth ribbon go to waste, no matter how small it is.  I sometimes find it difficult to get my drawer full of ribbon scraps to close for all the abundance inside it.  I save my best and longest pieces of ribbon to wrap gifts to my own family so I can stealthily steal the ribbon back again when the gift opening is finished (okay, I'm not very stealthy...my husband knows all about my ribbon stealing habits). 

It's definitely an addiction and all the lovely and unique types of ribbon out there tend to fuel it.

Especially those fantastic vintage spools.  I think I'll start keeping my eyes open for them at local vintage stores and flea markets so I can wrap my own ribbon around them just like these.

I love the ruffled ribbon! :)

It makes all the ribbon I've received from you all the more special! (I know I've still got some stuffed in my ribbon suitcase! PS Suitcases are a little easier than drawers to stuff full or beautiful ribbon!!!)

I'm in love with the ribbons. They are so pretty! I keep all my ribbons on a pants hanger, but spools really do seem so much dreamier and prettier!
