Ribbons and Bows Re-Arranged
Those of you that love (or will learn to love) Rubans, Boutons… will be happy to find out that it is not gone (was on St-Denis) but has simply moved into a new home. It’s an artsy store run by a button enthusiast with an endless display of buttons including horn, leather, mother-of-pearl and glass and in a rainbow of colors and patterns, even antique ones. Ribbons in 1,000 styles can be from France and Asia, have wired edges to make fancy packaging bows, hair ribbons, gown ribbons and ornate decorating ones. Button lovers may want to join the button club or buy button jewelry. To celebrate their new home, they are having a welcome party next week. The owner and his mate are also part time comedians and have a little stage in their new shop. Don’t be surprised if there’s a show that night.
