Crazy for Christmas

As we open presents and drink eggnog
(and eventually, wine!), sooner
or later someone (or several someones)
wind up decorated with ribbon
from the packages.  Don't be mad at me for 
posting this, Lila—you look cute!

ABC Wednesday—R is for "ribbon"

Last time I was in Paris I stepped into Au Cabas d'Or,
a mercerie (notions store), on the rue du Caire.
Along with buttons and thread and embroidery floss,
they had a fabulous selection of ribbon of all kinds.
(I bought 3 pieces—including the blue
on the left—and framed them for a friend who
loves beautiful ribbon as much as I do.)

This was barely a quarter
of what was available.

When it comes to wrapping presents, I

firmly believe that it's all about the ribbon!

If this store hadn't been closed and

shuttered when I went by the other night,

I definitely would have bought the red

ribbon with the polka-dots—and probably

wouldn't have stopped there!
