Vintage silky ribbons

I just adore touching old silky ribbons especially the antique silk ones. I dream about where and what they have been used for in the past and who used or wore them.

I have so many ribbons in my stash that I thought I would put a number together in a stashbag. the last lot sold well so today I've listed four more.


Now what to do with these wonderful ribbons.

I've been having a scout around the web and come up with these ideas, but it would be great to get YOUR ideas as well, so send them in to me and we will make up a list.
