County Fair Ribbon Decor

It's Fair Week here in Eastern New Mexico and I thought it would be fun to add a little fair decor to the family room.

All I had to decorate with was a pillow and a hand full of ribbons,   but when I spread them around the room it looked like more.

Before...............................................................After
I am  playing with fabric! 
   I took all the blue fabric off the sofa to wash it and while I have it off,        I am playing with a pink plaid bed ruffle to see if now is the time for a new slip cover.      Which do you like the best?

Okay......back to the Fair decor....lol!

Here is the one pillow that I had with a Fair theme.......

I pinned a white ribbon to a blue and white stripe pillow to give it a fair look........

I found my fair pillow at one of my favorite local shops.......Traci's 

I added some blue ribbons to the existing decor on this side of the sofa

 

I love the white enamel sheep on this blue ribbon.......

First place in the Lamb Show

I pinned another blue ribbon to my sheep pillow

This tan ninth place ribbon found a home on the other blue and white pillow.

 

I added more ribbons to the existing decor on the other side of the sofa......

I tucked a green ribbon in the floral design that I made in a tobacco basket.

2002 6th place ribbon......

I have a sheep picture on this side to balance the sheep I have on the other side of the sofa.

This ribbon looks yellow in the photo,   but it is actually a pale green 7th place ribbon.

I had planned to make a wreath with all my ribbons,    but fair week snuck up on me and I didn't have time.

I've seen vintage Fair ribbons in antique shops,   but I picked mine up at one of my favorite little shops.....Milk House Market.     They were having a garage sale and I paid  25 cents each for my ribbons.

Here is my last ribbon..... it's bright yellow!

I hope you enjoyed this fun project and will be tempted to pick up some fair ribbons the next time you spot any!

Til next time......
