Pink Saturday - 1930s Lingerie Lace Trims

Just a very short Pink Saturday post today as my DH and DS3 are returning from France this afternoon, and I am way too excited to sit on the computer for long.

I found these beautiful lace trims at a vide greniers in France this summer. I have them in the sweet light sky blue as well, but the ones I am showing you today are a very lightest soft shell pink and so beautiful. I was planning to use one on a really dainty lacy collage or pillow or perhaps even a small bag. What would you do with some of these? -





Have a great weekend wherever you are, go find some fabulous bargains, craft something wonderful, and above all have fun!

    After admiring them for a year, then I'd add them to a fabric journal.

    How gorgeous and from France to boot.

    I feel your excitement for men coming home, how sweet.

    What treasures! I'll be visiting the south of France - Nice and Avignon areas next year. Have you posted about some of your favourite shopping spots before?

    Hi Liz, It is so nice to visit your blog. My life today is busy but knowing there will be something pretty or interesting on your blog is the perfect little escape. And today lace. One of my all time favorite thing. Much love to you Liz and thank you for sharing all your creations and lovely finds,Louise

    Oh you know how to make me drool over your laces but this is divine! I could see it bordering a brooch hanger - that would really show it off to the max or on a clutch all the way round! Oh you know me I could think of 101 ways to use it Liz - it's gorgeous!
    Thanks for popping over and leaving a comment on my new Tattered Lace Journal.
    Hugs and enjoy your men home again!

    Gorgeous Liz, Oh I think I'd use some as the outside edges of a drawstring jewelry bag! So very pretty.
    Thank you so much for the wonderful goodies. I sent you a p.m.
    hugs Lynn

    Hi Liz,
    Your lace from France is so beautiful and I know you will make the prettiest treasures with these pieces. I can also see them on pillows, aprons, Christmas ornaments and how about hand towels too for decoration. Just dreamy my friend.

    Thank you for sharing.
    XO Celestina Marie

    A gourgeous lace with a very special color i think. You can use it for everything. But i think it would look very lovely on a small purse.

    have a nice week
