Aaah, lace!

As I told you in yesterday's post, I didn't buy much at Sunday's antiques fair. I came home with lace though. Really gorgeous lace. I was lucky to find two antique dealers who had some lace items. These pics are of the treasures I found on the first one -

One of the lace pieces was on this card, I adore the label -

These lace motifs are the most beautiful ones I have ever come across, such incredibly fine work, they take my breath away -

They have been sewn together to form one large trim, but can be easily taken apart so that they can be used singly on special projects.

This is also a really sweet little lace motif -

Finely embroidered lingerie trim -

A piece of lace fabric, not terribly old, but very pretty -

Notice the little splatters of sunshine? Yep, it was a gorgeously sunny day yesterday when I took the photographs.

I love this next piece of lace as well, made with such incredibly fine thread -

Small pieces of Battenburg lace, handmade with such tiny ribbons -

A few pieces of small vintage lace -

And last, but not least, this very wide and quite thick lace with the prettiest rose pattern -

The lace items from the second dealer will have to wait until tomorrow, but I hope that you have enjoyed looking at these bits.

Thank you for stopping by! Toodlepip xxx
