Today was spent working on swag bags for the Happy Trails entrants (which is why this blog entry is going up late - I have been busy!) I can't post what's in them yet because some of the people coming to the show also read my blog and I'd like it to be a surprise, but I will show you what's in them later this weekend.
After I finished with the swag bags, I pulled out the awards. It's a free show, but I still like to have real ribbons for each class. Most are recycled, but they work just fine.
I spent some time ironing the rosettes for the champion and reserve winners.
The hard part now will be keeping them nice and unwrinkled until the show.
These rosettes are from real horse shows and date back to the 1990s. They looked so much better after I ironed them.
Most of the trophies are from the 1990s, too, and I got them from someone who was selling a big box of rosettes, ribbons, and trophies for an affordable price. I am hoping that this assortment will last across several shows. You don't come across a windfall like that very often!
I'm in pretty good shape for the show - I am really looking forward to Saturday!
Now why did I never think of ironing ribbons! What a neat idea. And I love the recycled trophies...!
ReplyDeleteJust set your iron on low heat. I have used steam at times, but be careful if you try it. Without steam works just fine for my purposes. :)
