This is my favourite room in all of Seattle:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve written about this place before<\/a>, because I love it, and it’s chief inhabitant (at least in the hours that I visit), the dedicated 77 year old ribbon mistress Susan Pasco<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But now it’s closing<\/a>. I’ve been in three times since I got the email, and no doubt I’ll sneak in one more time before it closes. In one of my missions I bought a yard of wool binding that I promptly used on a Halloween jewel (see instagram<\/a>). On finishing that piece I quick-marched back up there to get some more. On the second trip I got 3 yards, then Susan, having remarked on liking the colour both times she measured it out for me, said she was “Going to deep six the rest of this.” and piled it behind her, then shuffled papers over it. I look forward to what she makes out of it – more likely a suit than jewellery.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the ribbon room does not look like that photo (from 2015) any longer,\u00a0 it’s been well depleted already, but if you do want to stock up on vintage grosgrain, this might be your last chance.<\/p>\n

Goodbye, dear friend.<\/p>\n
