Ribbon, Ribbon and More Ribbon!
Some companies may be cutting back on new merchandise to offer for Spring 2010, but not the ribbon companies!!  I am happy to report that new shipments are arriving!  Such cute Easter designs, beautiful new fabrics and amazing color collections!  My favorite ~ lovely French ribbons ~ are really special this time and I am like a kid at Christmas as these boxes are arriving!  Some are for wrapping, some for sewing, some for decorating and some just to add to your stash!  Prices vary from 50-cents per yard to $5.95 per yard, so there's something for everyone! 

I'm also trying something new.  I am pre-packaging some 1-yard cuts of ribbon to help speed up the process for my ribbon collectors who only want a yard, but are in a hurry (people waiting in the car) or want to give several as gifts.  So instead of waiting for the measuring process, this might help speed things up if you are in the "grab and go" mode.

See more of our ribbon selection on the new Ribbon Corner page on this website.

German Glass Glitter ~ Crafty Gifts!
There are so many wonderful bright colors of German glass glitter. And, you'll find them here at Birds of a Feather!  Jewel tones like Royal Blue, Emerald Green, Purple and Ruby Red, along with Gold, Copper, Orange and Black make for a beautiful selection of glitter! The old favorites like White, Silver, Pink, Dusty Blue, and Light Green are also available for your crafting projects! And now and then, we get some new and different colors. So, feed your "inner crafter" and come take a look.

You can fancy up a special card, sparkle your Princess Crown, add it to
your notes, or magic wand! Or, just hoard it in your special crafting stash!  We offer nice sized individual containers for $5.50 each. Also, ask about creating a specific gift package for a creative friend.

Give us a call at the store, 805.927.2391, to charge your purchase,
and with the addition of tax and shipping, we'll mail it right out to you! Girls gotta have a little sparkle!*
