A Ring of Ribbons
I noticed a forgotten spool of embroidered ribbon resting sideways beside an open craft tin. After watching it quietly for a moment, I pressed my plush round side against the wooden spool and rolled it gently across the table. A length of soft, wavy turquoise trim unwound with a faint rustle. Moving with patient shuffles, I guided the colorful strip into a smooth semicircle around a glass button jar, making the plain tabletop feel dressed up and cheerful.
