Wild Zebra!

Zebra Print Ribbons w/ Rhinestone Embellishments

A friend of mine with a daughter in her tweens asked whether i had zebra print ribbon.  My supplier actually carries them and giraffe print as well, but i never picked them up because i thought they may be a bit too wild* for my 2-5 year old clients.  Upon her request, i went over the first chance i got to pick some up and while i was at it, thought only black and white?  That's too boring.  Let's go with the hot pink and black too.  I must say, i'm actually quite excited about this exotic print now.

She then asked if i had rhinestones.  Well, yes, in fact, i do have those too.  I used up most of them already though, so i also went to my other supplier today to pick some new ones up.

I've actually been on a decompression mode after the big open house.  I worked so hard to get my stock up that after the open house was over, i really needed to just take a break.  Going to the suppliers today though gave me a renewed sense of enthusiasm for my bows and business and i am happy to say, i'm now ready to get back into action.  Unfortunately, there may not be much bow making though in the next three weeks as i'm going away on a holiday.  Well, we can also say it's a sourcing trip.  I'm planning on researching more ribbons, clips and accessories in another part of the world.  

I'll try to post updates though throughout these three weeks, so you won't miss me too much.

*My actual words when i first saw these ribbons were that they are 'too loud'.  My 3 yo daughter was with me at the time and upon seeing what i bought today, she said, mama...why did you buy these?  They make too much noise when you put them in the hair.  They're so noisy.  LOL.
