Ribbons

I'm really not that strong-willed when it comes to haberdashery!
I you ask me, one can never have too much of that stuff - buttons, bias tape and ribbons are all necessities in order to have a well supplied craftroom (hmm, hmm!)
Strangely enough I tend to use a very small amount of these things. At least not often enough to justify my ever growing stash of haberdashery. Only bias tape is a recurring factor in my sewing.
But I have several ideas where to put the ribbons and buttons, so they make a piece of clothes look more personal and unique. I just don't do it that often!
Nevertheless I just ordered more ribbons - they are so beautiful and every single one of them in colours and patterns I adore! So hard to resist!

All of the adorable ribbons you see in this post are bought right here - at Aspegren. I never knew that they made haberdashery (and Thank God for that, my husband would say!) I knew they had amazing figurines, pillows, tablecloths and seasonal ornaments.

But now I know that they have gorgeous ribbons as well - I had better figure out where to use them before they arrive.....who says it has to be put on my clothes? I could easily see it on a gift, around a jar or gathering a buch of candles.

One thing is for certain though: when some of my haberdashery appear on my sewing or in my house, I will definitely let you know that I used some!! (and I might tell my husband too!)

Vilka fina band, kära Ulla! Det är svårt att inte falla för frestelsen - nu känns det som om jag har nästan ingenting här i alla mina lådor och boxar ;-)

Gitte said...

Næste gang jeg skal bruge bånd, tror jeg bare at jeg bestiller hos dig ;-)

Kære Juliane!
Det er nogle rigtig fine bånd de har hos Aspegren. Gid alle rullerne var mine - men jeg har blot bestilt nogle få meter af nogle af båndene ;0)
Hav en hyggelig aften...

...........

Ja, det er helt pinligt, Gitte!!
Men bestil du bare - jeg kunne sagtens finde noget til dig og ville med glæde sende det din vej ;0))

Nej, hvor er de bånd skønne - specielt er jeg vild med dem med romberne! Ulla, nu kommer du til at koste mig penge (igen) - men jeg tilgiver dig... :)

actually, what i think is also really appealing about them is the wooden dispenser. can't wait to see what you do whith them !

Jeg har det sådan: Knapper og bånd er godt, meeeen MANGE knapper og bånd er MEGET godt. Så nu vil jeg linke til Aspegren og finde nogle flere smukke bånd til mit, i forvejen, fyldte lager.
Hav en god dag

Åh vilken fin blogg du har!
De där rullarna med band skulle jag gärna ha i vår nystädade fixarskrubb!
Kram Susanne

Ulla V. said...

Ja, tænk engang at så skønne bånd findes, Astrid...og tænk hvor lidt der skal til for at glæde os bånd- og knappeglade mennesker. Blot nogle få meter... ;0))
Jeg spændt på at se hvilke du valgte og hvordan du vil bruge dem :0)

I agree with you, Emilie - it would be wonderful if the wooden dispensers came along with the ribbons when one bought them! Sadly they don't.
I have an idea or two on how to use the ribbons ;0)

.................

En artsfælle har talt, Rosanna - godt jeg ikke er den eneste med hang til bånd ;0))

Jeg er sikker på, at du nok skal få noget skønt ud af båndene fra Aspegren :0))

Ulla V. said...

Hov, me and Alice - du skrev vist på samme tid som jeg.
Mange tak skal du have og hvor det hyggeligt at du fik lyst til at kigge forbi ;0)
Og du holder af smukke bånd lige så meget som mig kan jeg forstå ;0)

Claudia said...

oh wow, wow and wow! Lovely :)

Ulla V. said...

Oh yes, Claudia! I can't wait to see them for real ;0)
