The most exciting for me was the section on ribbon folding and ribbon trims.. They don't sell these trims but do sell the two-sided ribbon to do this fantastic trim. I think I have some ribbon very similar and want to try these.. Aren't they absolutely gorgeous? Plus they sold lots of flower trims by the yard.
They also sell vintage items and in the section on lingerie there is pink Vionnet corset trim, hook/eye corset trim & ribbons with attached lace. Which I am thinking I might find a use for as I assemble my books of corset cuties...maybe on the cover. To the left is another trim that I thought was lovely.. The really old vintage stuff is quite expensive as you would expect, but there were many affordable items like this one as well.
I particularly liked this one which was NOT expensive and could be cut up.
So thank you Lacysuzette for sending me that link... and I would love the scans you mentioned. There was no reply option to your post. If you will email me at olderrose@gmail.com we can work out the details...

Oh my, those ribbons are stunning. So now I'll have to go drool at that page - sigh.
I bought the pansy one too Gerry. I can't bring myself to use it yet!
I'll take one of each. After I win the lottery!
That site is dangerous for my financial security. I'm afraid I've given Margaret a good deal of my money over the years. My favorite splurge was a tambour embroidered net table cloth. I posted it on the blog a while back. Absolutely stunning. I may cut up the embroidery and use it in a quilt as the netting has some holes and breaks...it sits there waiting for me just like Mrs. Rose...
Gerry: I hope this finds you well and pursing your art. This is a very belated thank you for mentioning our store way back in 2015. Its interesting that this blog post is still referring readers to Vintage Passementerie in 2021. We were recently looking in detail at what sites were referring customers to our store and up popped this post. We appreciated your comments now as much as we did in 2015.
