On my thrift outing that landed me the $585 bird cage for $5, I also came across a stash of this antique lace. At $2 for the lot, I couldn't resist. I much prefer rick rack or ball fringe, but I just know I'll find a use for these lovely trims.
Great old lace. I know it will come in handy. Nothing pretty, but I picked up some heat bond from the SA today for .50 and know what I will be using it for. Posted some pics over at my blog today. Have a great evening. Jackie
I bet you will. Lovely! You asked about the stain. I just use coffee (from the pot), mixed with vanilla and cinnamon and either brush it on the stitchery or soak the stitchery in it in a bowl, then bake it for a few minute at 250 or so. (you have to be sure to watch it, of course, or the edges can get crusty and I even heard of one that caught on fire. lol). Thanks for visiting my blog. :)
"Our house was not unsentient matter — it had a heart and a soul, and eyes to see with; and approvals and solicitudes and deep sympathies; it was of us, and we were in its confidence and lived in its grace and in the peace of its benedictions. We never came home from an absence that its face did not light up and speak out in eloquent welcome — and we could not enter it unmoved."- Samuel Clemens
I am probably the most content person you'd ever want to meet. I have a decent job working with people I like, a loving family including a swell Old English Sheepdog, a home where nesting and curling up on slipcovered sofas is required, and a life rich in creative crafting and daydreaming. I someday want a cottage at the beach where my grandchildren can bring sandy feet into the house, wet bathing suits can dry on the front porch and everything we need to get to is a bicycle ride away.
