Every holiday season (ok, I mean EVERY holiday of the year!) I like to head to Tinsel Trading to trade money for ribbons and trims and other textile ephemera for friends. Over the years, Tinsel Trading has traded up from a grungy hole-in-the-wall jumbled up mess (which was exciting and mysterious) to a pretty princess in the garment district with shiny windows, polished floors and lots of organization. 

Listed as a Resource in Martha Stewart's Crafts Blog, I shopped online and found lovely treasures like this one that can be shipped directly.

Make sure you read Tinsel Trading's history. It's a wonderful coming of age story!
