I collect it as if my life depends on it and I have lots !
What was I supposed to do when my local craft store is closing down and had ric rac half price ....
As you can see I bought a little bit after I dropped the kids at school today . I wasn't expecting to stop anywhere on the way home so I didn't have much money but I foraged around the bottom of my bag and all through the car scratching up what coins I could find .
My heart had little flutters when the owner gave me the ends of the roll 'cause it wasn't worth measuring .
This is what I bought to add to my supply I already have .
I have more than enough now , I have plenty , I don't need anymore .
I'm going back tomorrow .
I'm with you - you can never have too much Ric Rac. Go forth and buy I say!!!
ReplyDeletehehehehe......you are so funny but really not that much different to alot of other crafters..........lol Go and buy more

ahh, rick rack happiness! i love all the cheery colours!
ReplyDeleteLOL..... Im a Ricrac fan too! Ohhhh Im jealous..just joking..good on you! Youcan could always find a use for ricrac. I use it alot.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find a way to answer the commments left on my blog..anyway...re the framing on my blocks of the quilt Im doing.. it is interesting isnt it?? Ive never seen that used before. Honestly if it didnt have it the quilt would be boring..it is boring enough...hence why I have to embellish it.. Im in the middle of trying to quilt it and I carnt find the darning foot for my machine grrrrr!!
Now re: you... Im looking forward to seeing some of you lovely creations with that ric rac....
Oh my! Clare! how much do you HAVE! What are you going to use it for? You'll have to show me what you're using it for cause I've got heaps too and don't have anything to use it on! lol Maybe you could do up some old jam bottles and place the ric rac in it according to colour? That would look sooooo good! And a little of the colour around the top of the lid! Ooh! I'm giving myself ideas! Come enter my giveaway!
ReplyDeleteReally? Can you ever have too much ric rac? Can you :o) ??

ReplyDeleteJayne
Aww Clare, you love ric rac like I love buttons. I certainly love ric rac as well. I love all the different colours you have. Kind regards, Anita.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely selection of ric rac! I too love ric rac, especially vintage. The choice of colours are what I like about it too. I like the flowery lilac and white one that I can see in your basket, pretty and unusual.
ReplyDeleteWarm wishes

ReplyDeleteHey Clare! Ooooooohh!! I have rick-rack envy!! My stocks are a little depleted at the moment - I'm out of red, green and natural ecru, my fave three colours - oh no!

So funny! I love ric rac too-and support your belief that no one can have too much!! Thanks for stopping by my blog-lots of my comments have been going to my spam folder and I don't know how to stop them. Congrats on your button bookmark publication too!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that the store is closing but OH MY GOLLY look at that wonderful stash!!!!! I'd go back too!

ReplyDeleteoh yes ric rac is to die for isn't it something so gorgeous about it, but I don't have anywhere near the amount you have in your enviable stash there, lovely!!
ReplyDeleteScore! Shame the local shop is closing but good on you for supporting her in her hour of need and helping with tidying up for final stocktake - it's community service don't you know, he he he. There are some things you can Never Have Too Much Of and Ric Rac (both kinds) definitely qualifies.
