On a recent trip to San Francisco I stopped by The Ribbonerie, a wonderful old world boutique shop for every ribbon you could ever desire.  Paris has not been in the cards for me lately, but if you want to feel like you are somewhere else, for just a few minutes, step  inside. They used to  be located in the Design district downtown but the neighborhood has gotten pretty seedy and with their lease up recently…they moved to stylish Sacramento Street.

My favorite area of the store is the bargain bins, full of wonderful rolls I use for a variety of projects at a clearance price.  My daughter had to have a little bit of many variations of pink, and she had quite a selection when she left.  They also have a vintage cabinet full of velvet flowers, ribbon, pins, etc. that could keep a milliner entertained for quite some time.

I apologize for the quality of these pictures with my iphone.  Here are a few more:

A fun stop next time you are in SF. There is a florist shop in the back that shares the space. I would imagine flowers from this store would be quite magical.
