Oh, I’m smitten!  I love the luscious spring colors.  This is vintage seam binding that I got from a awesome store called Smitten. You can find their website here.  Smitten is where I get my German Glass and I find things that have been reused, re-purposed and refreshed.

This vintage seam binding has a little texture to it because of the way it is woven and I can’t wait to use it on a card.  Besides vintage seam binding she also has satin ribbon, velvet ribbon and my favorite thing today was the German Glass Easter Eggs.  She has a lot more than ribbon and German Glass so be sure and check her website.

We went to McKinney because March 26th was our 40th anniversary and my husband (Red) knows I love looking through unique shops.  We stopped at a place call Spoons for lunch and then walked down to Smitten.   I can stand at the German Glass display and just admire all the beautiful colors.  However, I wanted to add more to my German Glass collection and chose these  three new additions.

At Smitten you will find various grades of German Glass, such as course, fine and a new one that is called tumbled.  This takes the shine off and gives the German Glass a more organic look.  I didn’t get any today but that is going on my “must have” list.

If you live close by be sure and stop by Smitten.   It is located at 118 E. Louisiana, McKinney, TX 75069 and tell Karen (who by the way is super nice)  you saw the post on Talent is Optional.  No, I’m not being paid, I just love the store and have enjoyed the unique things I find there and by the way they also have classes.

Check them out!!
