While in New York city Christmas week, another specialty shop on my list of places to visit, was Tinsel Trading Company. The shop moved several months back and is now located at One West 37th Street. A frequent customer, and her design team, is Martha Stewart ~ she calls Tinsel Trading, quote, "My favorite store in all of the world".Vintage, new, reproduction.............trims, silk flowers, ribbons, threads, all colors imaginable, bridal, holiday decor, German glass glitter ~ including the fabulous Wendy Addison creations.
Wendy Addison Christmas decor.
Drawers in antique cupboards and chests open to display silk threads and ribbons.
Wall displays of silk flowers ~ these are just some of the white ones ~ they come in every color of the rainbow!
My purchase, again small items for the corner of that expanding suitcase, were these beautiful vintage wooden spools of fine metallic threads in silver and gold tones.
Displayed in the dining room.
This is definitely a beautiful shop where I'll head back for another (much longer!) visit when in Manhattan again.
Tinsel Trading Company ~ a treasure chest.

Yes, indeed! Tinsel Trading Company is a treasure chest. I don't get to NY often these days, but when I do, TTC is on my list. Thanks for letting me know it has a new address. Love the little spools that made their way into your suitcase. Thanks for sharing this lovely post! ~ Sarah

Thanks for the wonderful pictures. The ribbon district is, or used to be, full of such wonderful spots. A favorite of mine was Cinderella Flower and Feather but, alas, I think it may be gone. I'll put Tinsel Trading on my must-visit list, though
ReplyDeleteOh I'm green with envy! I wanted to go the last time I was there, but missed it - not the next time I go! It will be FIRST not last :-)
ReplyDeleteMary, What a FABULOUS shop! I love it all. What a fun place that much have been to visit.
ReplyDeleteHope you, Bob, and Jasmin are having a great 2010 so far. Take care!
Blessings ~Mary~ :-}
What a fun shop. I really like your display of the vintage spools. I am sure it is a nice addition to your already beautiful display.
ReplyDeleteI could use that S for Sea. Well, I've come to love glitter and would definitely visit Tinsel Trading if I ever make it down to NYC.
