They are really, really yummy. I'll look at my beading thing - I bought some really nice supplies from a couple that have a business doing nothing but hand-dyed ribbons, and making these really neat bead trays. Gorgeous ribbons. To die for - with pun. I believe they do the Quilt show circuit - but I'll look for their name - they were from either Missouri or Mississippi or something like that. Gorgeous stuff, and nice prices, and I'm sure they have no storefront - strictly either shows or mail/web order, and wholesale.
