I hoard LOTS and lots of ribbon. I have loved ribbon for years and have never quite managed to break that desire to accumulate it. Old, new, doesn't matter, as long as it's pretty. Being Pink Saturday, I thought I'd share a photo of a small amount of my stash that happened to be glorious and pink. Not anywhere near all of it and not even all of it that is pink, but you get the idea.
What do I do with all of that ribbon, you ask? Well, mostly...I look at it. Once in a great while, I make a silk ribbon flower with it or use it in some way, but for the most part, it is one of those collections that brings joy just by its being in proximity to me and I periodically pull it out and touch it and love it for what it is. Okay, now I'm even scaring MYSELF! But, if you share this affliction, known as "Acute Ribbonophilia", you probably totally get what I am talking about. You should know that there is no known cure for this malady, so just embrace it and deal with it as best you can.
Since it is Pink Saturday, I thought I should also share with you one of my favorite pieces of all time, the pink silk box which the ribbon is in. When you are done having a peek, stop by and visit our Pink Saturday host, Bev at How Sweet the Sound for more links to bloggers participating in Pink Saturday.
Until next time,
That is the prettiest box I have ever seen. Interesting and very different shape. Absolutely fab. Thanks for the ribbon fix!

I don't have that particular brand of "philia" but I certainly have enough of my own, so I understand it. Your ribbons are lovely! Happy Pink Saturday!

Gorgeous pink ribbon. I have been hunting for ribbons, too. I would like to make a tassel in cream and white ribbon, seems harder to find than I thought.
ReplyDeleteLove all your ribbons. I love ribbons too. Happy pink Saturday
ReplyDeleteJe m'excuse d'être en retard pour la fête Pink samedi ... mais je suis heureux de lire les blogs!
ReplyDeleteJe commence la pléthore de joie!
Je suis tout à propos de la (pas si) futile extravagance des rubans, des garnitures et des arcs!
A la joie d'être ici ce samedi Pink et vous souhaite bien!
What a beautiful box to keep all those gorgeous ribbons.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!
Blessings,
Virginia :)
I am lovin' the box the ribbons are in! Happy PS!
ReplyDeleteHey, come on over. I'll put the teapot on the stove and we can sit in my kitchen comparing our hoarding...especially how we just look at the things we have...you have captured my heart! I can relate to you!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to know that I am not the only hoarder of pretty things. My obsession is lace though. I think I should pull up a chair with Mimi and we can all share our stories!! Have a wonderful pink weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stash. I know what you mean about not wanting to use something, such as ribbon - I had a length of it that I didn't want to use, but then again, very much wanted to use because it was so pretty. Alas, I used it. It is all gone now save an inch or so...
ReplyDeleteI love your pink ribbons .
ReplyDeleteI just adore your pink box...what a find that is. I, too, am a hoarder. I have many things, just because I like to have them. Paper, tags, cards, etc. You get my drift....You are not alone! Happy Pink Saturday
ReplyDeleteI must own that box...I can see you love pink!!!
ReplyDeleteI too have collections that I do nothing with, but they make me happy just to look at them. You are not alone..I too, am a hoarder. Happy belated Pink Saturday and have a wonderful week. xx
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, I nearly fell off my chair when I saw that BOX!!!!! That's got to be the MOST gorgeous box I have ever seen (a little coveting going on here, lol)! Oh, I'm knee deep in the hoarding disease...pink ribbon and lace are my biggest weaknesses, but there are others too. HELP
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Judy,
ReplyDeleteI have been tagged and would like to tag you in return. If you would like to participate the instructions are on my blog.
Looking forward to seeing what happens, Candy
A proper vintage gal can never have enough pretty ribbons to look at and dream about. I linked here via other blogs in the OWOH event. I think you might like my vintage world as well, so I invite you to stop by!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday, Judy.
ReplyDeleteI am a bit obsessive about ribbon, too. I love, love, love it. And, all of your pretty pink ribbon is gorgeous.
Simply gorgeous! I love your blog.

I love the box! I too have many collections; things that are too beautiful to use, like gift bags, ribbons, antique ribbonwork...you name it. Can you share with us where you found this box? I have never seen such an incredibly lovely pink box.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time...I think I found it on eBay.
