What was I doing?
ribbon and chainette fringe source in Albuquerque
Sun, February 1, 2009 - 11:52 AMcolors and several lengths, all at about $3 a yard, and a limited
selection of beaded fringe. They also carry ribbons, lace and trims
on rolls for yards for the dollar. There are fabric flowers, feathers
(including many dyed ostrich)and they can order specialty fabrics and
are local and nice people as well.
It is Called Bessie's Gift shop (she is fourth generation S Valley)
although you should look for the words "lace and ribbon" on the sign.
121 Old S. Coors SW, South of Central W. in the S. Valley.
(505) 831 6189
This is a great old-fashioned place where everything is on rolls and
someone helps you and cuts for you . . . plus there is a great bakery
with the best sweet breads (the flour/sugar kind not the icky kind)
just next door.
They are open on Weekends, call for exact hours.

thanks for this post!
I went to Bessie's today, after looking for 6" fringe at JoAnn and Hancock this week. Yay! I was so glad not to have to mail-order four feet of fringe (although I did have to explain to the gal cutting it how to measure it out). I had never been so far west on Central, it was like a field trip to new territory. Alas I couldn't find the bakery and didn't have time to check out the tortilla places down the road. How did you ever find this place?!
