The Problem with Fluff Stuff

Hand Painted Ribbon

 

A blue ribbon with hand painted flowers one of many in a trunk at the brocante.

What is it about lace, ribbons, bows… feminine fluff? Why do these trunks, and there are many, make me stop and look? Given that I can't stand to cut into old textiles, I usually go home and add the feminine fluff to a basket.

Oh, those darn heavy wooden trunks with big iron locks and old labels, tempting, and teasing haunting me with,

"O…P…E…N  M..E! Look what I have hidden inside for you."  

And I do.

Sucked right in everytime.

Maybe the main attraction is because I can put a ribbon anywhere. It isn't heavy and it does not take up any room.

French Husband shakes his head, "Then why do you like books? And chairs? And urns? And statues…

I put my hand over his mouth.

  1. Love your personality! Don’t change!

  2. Chairs, urns and statues…yes, yes, and yes.

  3. “[Ribbon] isn’t heavy and it does not take up any room.”
    Oh yes it can, if you have enough of it. Don’t ask me how I know this 😉

  4. I can see you clamping your hand over Yann’s mouth and the gleam in his eye peeking above your hand. Imp.
