We love ribbon. Sometimes, when it’s November and we are so eager to start and are at the Flower Market browsing in the ribbon aisles, we pick out patterns and colors that are perhaps a little too challenging when we are on the spot decorating. Santa’s Buckle below was one that seemed like a good idea at the time, but was languishing on the rolls with no decorators willing to experiment with it. In these instances, we try to make up a bow with the ribbon to demonstrate what it will look like when made into a bow and hope someone will choose it. Once a wreath is successfully finished, everyone flocks to the ribbon and we can barely keep up with demand.
