Even though we're wearing winter clothes around here it was exciting to pull out my summer clothes. We are going on a 2 week vacation 2 weeks from this past Sunday. I washed my clothes and set some of them out to iron.
I also found these to share with you. Last summer I was at a barn sale in NY state by the cottage. I purchased 3 ziplock bags of vintagt lace. Each bag was either $1.00 or $2.00 each.
I soaked them in gentle lingerie detergent and rinsed them carefully. I have some ideas on what to do with them. I'd like to use some of them in quilting, or pillowcases or making something sweet for Madeline.
Aren't they pretty and so feminine....
What suggestions do you have? Have you used vintage lace for a special project?
Have a lovely day.... Judi xoxo

Oh Judi, that lace is gorgeous and there are endless possibilities:) I am going on a vacation to a warmer place in two weeks too! Guess I better get packing!
Have a blessed day, HUGS!
Hi Judi! Oh, I'd love to come across some vintage lace like yours! So beautiful! You could put some as edging on some little hand towels. I know you'll think of something.
You're so organized getting all of your clothes ready for spring. Have a wonderful vacation! :)
Will you be able to come to my cupboard party? I hope so.
Be a sweetie,

Gorgeous lace!!! What a wonderful find!!! Spring has left us for a while again, back to cooler temps and snow flurries in the forecast later this week. Can't wait to see what you do with the lace!

Great finds. I use lace ALL the time. Add it to everything from pillows, towels, cards and tags! On paper it looks great layered over book pages. Thanks for stopping by.
The edging on towels sounds really sweet! Mentioned by your previous commenters...sounds like you too, somehow! Have fun with it all. I am funny...I just like having things like this in my sewing box, waiting for just the right moment!
How nice to have found some vintage lace! I have some that use to belong to my grandma. Thanks for visiting and leaving sweet comments!
Blessings,
Janet
