I have been so busy finishing up the last touches on my Halloween projects, making some cards and working on current orders I have gotten behind on some posting! I have to share a new love of mine, Dresden paper and a great source for finding some wonderful little things for anything you are up to crafting these days.

First, Dresden Paper. Dresden trims are embossed, die-cut paper embellishments which are stamped from foil-backed paper or cardboard that were originally produced in Germany since the early 19th century. Most people would be familiar with a Dresden star. They are a great addition to scrapbooks and mixed media projects. And a cool source for Dresden paper is Tinsel Trading Company of New York City.

Tinsel Trading Company is located in the garment district in NYC. A neat little place, full of ribbons, trims, buttons, flowers, etc. They were selling Cody Foster at the time I was there a couple years ago. Customer service is not their speciality, but they do have some pretty things! And now they have a website...full of pretty things. Now I can shop in my pajamas without going to NYC!
