Vintage Christmas has arrived......
20/09/2012
....a day late..........but.............well you have to wait for things to become Vintage!
It has been worth waiting for, I promise.
Vintage Christmas is our signature range of 2012, designed with love and a feel for Christmases past.
Six fun ribbons all designed on a back drop of a winter snow storm.
Town houses waiting for Christmas, Christmas trees of all shape and sizes, parcels already decorated,
we have a gingerbread family, a Toy train delivering parcels and even a washing line full of winter woolies.
But, that is not all.
Vintage Christmas is packed with message ribbons, designed using an "Old" style font.
Say a simple Happy Christmas, or
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year or how about
Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année
These come in oodles of colour combos using the three main colours,
Old Lace the colour of the snow, Nile Blue the impressive colour of the winter sky and
a rich Antique Scarlet that enhances the designs.
and.............
we have found a lace to give it that extra vintage feel.
Phew!!! You can find them all HERE

Who likes Jingle bells?
11/09/2012
.................we know little Sam likes singing jingle bells, no matter what time of year!!
BUT do you like jingle bells?
.................with Crafty Ribbons you can Jingle all the way this Christmas!
Our latest EXCLUSIVE Christmas ribbon to go live on the website, you can find it here
25mm pure crisp white grosgrain ribbon printed with exquisite silver metal jingle bells
threaded with red ribbon and the words of the song printed in red.
We hope you like this ribbon as much as we do, an awful lot of effort went into
getting this ribbon just so! We rejected the first batch because the writing
was a different colour to the red ribbon stringing the bells together!
Not sure we were very popular at the factory - BUT at Crafty Ribbons we know what we want!
Would you like some?
