I am tied up with something official for the next four weeks.

As much as I am finding it very interesting it does hold up production and my life seems to be turned upside down with all the comings and goings. Hopefully I will be back to normality in 3 weeks.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your lives are much more exciting than mine :)

Whether your project requires satin, sheer, silk, grosgrain, gingham or polka dot ribbon we have them all! Lots and lots of different colours in a range of widths.
