Ribbon has been on my radar for awhile because I am trying to create beautiful flowers and ribbon works for my millinery obsession.
And I found the motherlode for ribbons in Presidio Heights at
The Ribbonerie.
The extremely nice owner has been in the ribbon business for over 28 years and has had this ribbon shop for 20. It has been open at its current location for 6 years.
There are easily over 1,000 ribbons in this store to tempt and distract you.
And the prices are very reasonable. Plus, there is no minimum purchase; buy 1 inch or one million inches.
But, what I found most exciting is that there are numerous classes in ribbon work offered on various weekends.
AND many classes are taught by Candice Kling whose book on ribbon work I just purchased.
Sign me up!
As often happens when the choices are too numerous I get overwhelmed and made a modest purchase of some tulle ribbon, some discontinued hard to find ribbons and one antique red button.
Of course the day before I had been agonizing over the ribbon section at Britex in Union Square.
I did purchase some petersham ribbon at Britex and also four expensive variegated silk ribbons.
Even with a 30% off sale at Britex it is still extremely costly;
I did resist a gorgeous silk rayon velvet burgundy to gold ribbon that was $12.95 a yard.
With ribbon purchases piling up and an insatiable appetite for more, there was only one thing to do…
flee!
