After a friend mentioned her new ribbon laying tool from Fireside Stitchery, I took a little tour of their Accessories page. There are 20 pages of stuff I didn't know I needed!

I didn't know that there are bullion needles, that there are frog magnets available (charms against having to Rip It), what Oli clips are and much much more. By the way, the ribbon laying tool is called the English Laying Tool and it is on page 20. Short and dull tipped, she swears it really works great with silk ribbons.
If you want to see how Oli Clips work and see some of the canvas colors available from Nature's Palette, Pocket Full of Stitches has information for you.

If you just need a new magnet, here are some hand painted ones in stock at Needle Bug. There are lots of sheep, Christmas and just things like a gnome working at his desk.

Bullion needles are awesome. I stayed away from bullion iknots as much s I could, ctually hated it because I couldn't get it right. Then I got the bullion needle and bulliion knots are a breeze. To the point I recently made really long ones when stitching a pumpkin. Nice and easy.
Thanks for the tip, Palma. I don't have much trouble with bullions, but then I have never made really looooong ones. I'll keep an eye out for bullion needles the next time I am at a real shop.
