In case you didn't know, I simply love vintage and antique lace. It's so delicate, so feminine, so beautiful, and so inspiring! I found this lace at an antique mall for next to nothing. I couldn't pass it up not only for the price but because I have nothing like it. I have lots of project ideas but I'm a little bit afraid of using it. What if I ruin it and then it's gone!? I have to get past this fear because my muse is whispering in my ear. If I ignore her, she might leave again!
This beautiful lace came from one of my favorite Etsy shops, Strange Notions. Kathy, the shop owner, also included some vintage hankies, buttons, and a book of sweet embroidery transfers. Talk about happy mail!
I'm really hoping to start on a project this week. It's time. :)
Wow, what a beautiful package! That hanky with the embroidered initial is so lovely! And the laces and vintage buttons are gorgeous. Can't wait to see what you make with those :)
ReplyDeleteHi A. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of lace you have :)
I was looking at it very carefully and you have some really old pieces that are handmade lace :)
I LOVE lace (yet another thing we have in common :) and I think I've shared before that I have made lace in the past. So, I have a true appreciation for the amount of work/time that goes into creating even the smallest of pieces.
I have a small collection of interesting pieces and also some inherited pieces which are in various places in our home, I LOVE the knowledge that I'm a 4th generation in one family (ok, my Hubby;s family) to care and use these pieces :)
I look forward to seeing the work you create, I still have your beautiful lavender bag you made sitting in my closet :)
Have a lovely week, cheers, T. :)
I can't wait to see what you make and so happy to see this beautiful old lace get a new life!
