Bits of netting are always useful, right? Because they are so easy to manipulate and stretch and pull, especially when the net is as soft and silky as this one was. So I started to untangle it, and look what started to emerge -
only the most gorgeous, most delicate, finest lace! -
This is one of the pieces I rescued -
Ahhhh, such beauty! And all that hidden away in a screwed up little ball.
I am linking this post to Wen's 3rd Simply Neutrals Tuesday over on her blog. Hop over, drool over the beautiful photos, and then join the party yourself :-)!

Oh who would have thought a screwed up ball of netting could have been as beautiful as this. Even dyed it would look superb!.

I would say it was a joyful day ! I love surprises. One never knows what's within some odd little finds at sales and within our packed away surplus.
It is a beautiful piece, glad you were on a hunt and found it.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy a lovely week.
OMG - the most gorgeous fine lace!
What a find Liz, you must be over the moon.
Treasures are still there to be discovered!

Oh! Such loveliness! Lucky you to find such a beauty! Makes all the treasure hunting worthwhile, doesn't it?
hugs, Catherine
Liz, what a treasure! So fine and it looks intact, too. Lucky you. It would be extremely rare to come across such a great find here in Australia. But treasure-hunting is such fun, isn't it? And dreaming of what to do with each find... it's easier to make yourself use it in an artwork when it's already a remnant, isn't it?
So beautiful! The things you don't expect to be much, sometimes end up being true rate finds!
Hugs,
Betsy
