What a funny day! It was one of those phone call after phone call after phone call scenes. I wasn’t able to sit down in front of my computer until scandalously late at night.
But. When I did finally get some internet time I happened upon these gorgeous garlands. Knowing something so fantastic exists out there made everything better. Something about these makes me want to make things. : )
P.S. — Your haircut comments are brilliant! All the positive feedback is making me feel daring. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I just left a message with my hairdresser…

LOVE these, I’m clicking through to try and order now. What a wonderful discovery, my party planning heart thanks you!
I’m not gifted in decorating, so I’d probably use the garlands all wrong. BUT – what interesting spools… I wonder if there is a function behind the shape? One end looks like a gear, but the other is smooth. Hmm.
What cute garland! I admit I’m tempted to try making my own…
Oh how funny, we featured the same garlands this morning at WhipperBerry!! Great minds think a like. Aren’t they delicious?
I love paper. love it.
First and foremost- CONGRATULATIONS on your decision to GO FOR IT (reg. your hair:).
I also wanted to let you know that the “gorgeous garland” link isn’t working! Just an FYI.
ooh, those are absolutely delicious looking! But when I click on the “gorgeous garlands” like, I get a “page not found” error on your site. Boo hoo!
Mysterious! It was working last night. I’ll see if I can figure out the problem…
Ahh! I love these! Must get some for our next party!
Thanks everyone for your lovely comments! The spools were discovered at the Brimfield Antique show this past spring and they were once used in textile mills throughout New England. I imagine the gear was used for automated winding… wouldn’t that be fun to see?
Love your blog Gabby, thanks again!
