I tracked this gorgeous ribbon down and while I think it's a wonderful option to fancy-up Christmas gifts, the colours are great for ALL YEAR AROUND gifts. A simple bit of bling against brown, white or charcoal paper is a beautiful solution that can be reused (the ribbon) and recycled (the brown paper). Voila!

These lurex ribbons come in classic shades: romantic rose gold, and timeless silver and everlasting gold.

In the pink!
In addition to the shimmer of lurex, I'm crushing on ALL shades of pink (I know I"m supposed to be crazy for Living Coral - colour of the year - but frankly I lived through the peach and coral of the 80's and I'm not going there again :)
Take a look at these beauties...
Timeless, girly, and a little bit vintage, I love this pastel story. Petersham ribbons are a brilliant solution if you're making tie-top curtains. Think plain white linen curtains with candy strip tie tops and diagonal stripe trim at the bottom. So fresh and lovely.
I know I know, this may be leaning into dusty lilac but I still think it's pink enough to be showcased. There's a sophistication to this colourway and I think these would be so stunning to wrap around a bunch of roses to create an extra special gift.
The last two images I call the "Summer Stories". Crisp and beach-stripey, I would love to use these ribbons as trims on a plain white canvass or hemp tote bag.
Aqua oh Aqua! You are a breath of fresh air!
Till next week nerdos.
