Velvet Ribbon

There is something utterly feminine and vintage about velvet ribbons and trim.  I used to have an empire waist dress that was trimmed at the neckline with a thin strip of worn buttercup yellow ribbon and I thought it was the prettiest most ladylike thing in the whole wide world.  Now, I love it as a quick headband, belt, or gift wrap.  As I was looking around at velvet trims for this post, I came upon a staggering selection of vintage velvet ribbons via Etsy.  I don't know where to start or stop!

Yes; this is gorgeous.
In fact, we are going to be selling velvet ribbon at Roxie Daisy! We just need to place the order.

(I want to wrap myself in the ribbon from pic #3!!!)
