I rarely make it to NYC without making a trip to one of my all time favorite shops, Tinsel Trading. If you are looking for beautiful trims and ribbons, millinery flowers, or just some creative inspiration, it really can't be missed...
The millinery flowers (both vintage and reproduction) simply take my breath away. Is it wrong of me to want this entire wall in my own studio?
Such a pretty way to display them and keep them organized...
Who knew that stamens could be just as pretty as the flowers themselves?
These vintage rosettes are to die for!
Tinsel trading specializes in vintage metallic threads. Aren't they lovely...
There are rows and rows of ribbon.
And beautiful old trims.
I collect vintage sequins and I had to add some of these very unusual oblong ones to my collection.
These wonderful old spools are perfect for winding your bits of ribbon around...
What an incredible shop! I'll show you what I bought in a future post. :-)
Have a lovely weekend!
