New Ribbon!

Nautical_ribbon_2I don't know about you, but I am excited about this little piece of loveliness to the left.  We used to have a similar ribbon, but the vendor stopped producing it last year.  It was a very popular ribbon for our customers, so I drew up a design I personally like better (it spells jcaroline in nautical flags), emailed it to China and voila!  Two weeks later it arrived here and it is as spectacular as it looked in the pictures they sent me.

So, what really excites me is now that I know it actually works- I send an email (oh, and some money) and I get product, we plan to produce more little cuties to replace the ribbons that we have not been able to get anymore.

So my first foray into importing worked and has opened a world of opportunities for me to produce crazy ribbons.  You can buy this one here

I dig it! So cute and nautical. Very fresh. I'm always attracted to nautical designs when spring is on the way.

Cool Caroline! You little designer you..

Wow, I'm impressed! That must have been very satisfying for you!

I am totally inspired and love the idea of designing my own ribbon! Can you tell me the name of the company in China who manufactured it for you?
