Ribbons...........

It's not quite a Halloween picture........but doesn't she look a wee bit nervous?

I love ribbons.......even as a little girl I loved them. Shoot, I love so many things....so I thought I would share pictures of ribbons today........no rhyme or reason.........just wonderful, colorful, whimsical pictures of ribbons........all types of ribbons.

Aren't these bright and happy? Some are gauzy and give you a feeling of floating, like this wonderful bow below..........

I know it looks like netting, but it is a type of ribbon........

Of course there are different types of ribbons...........

and these.......

Look at this display........isn't it soft and just makes you think of babies, kittens, puppies, cotton candy and fluffy clouds on a warm summer afternoon

Oh there are prayer ribbons too.........not familiar with the significance of these ribbons in these faiths.........but they are beautiful

and

Look at this photo.........again, the colors are wonderful, but the photo is just amazing too

There is a store in San Antonio that I could go and just spend hours in......it has the most wonderful yarns, ribbons, buttons.......you walk up and down the aisles and then back again and sure enough, there seems to appear something new that you didn't see the last time you walked down that aisle.......this picture isn't from that store.........in fact I can't remember the name of it......hmmmm, let me see if I can find it. Hmm, I think it is the Yarn Barn, and they are moving, but trust me, I am not going on a road trip again right away........I am still recovering from the last two!!!!

I do like flowers made from ribbons too........I like ribbon embroidery and my girls wanted me to try that........I just looked at them........like I can afford another hobby? What's to stop them from trying to do it.........according to both of them, they don't have the time......and they don't. I thought I was busy raising my three children, pretty much by myself, but my girls have two children each and they seem much busier that I was............

Here are the best ribbons of all..........

and last but surely not least is me......I must have been about 4. Now for years I thought I was Chinese or Japanese, because my mother, rest her soul, would make those braids so tight, that my eyes would be pulled into little slits.........honest. Come around 3-4 o'clock, just when my headache would be leaving and my eyes returning to normal, she would round me up and re-do them, so I would nice for my Daddy coming home..........sigh...........you know it's a wonder I have any brains left at all!!!!
Have a beautiful day.........share a smile.......they aren't as special if you keep them all to yourself.
