Hi and thanks for stopping by That Old House and checking out my "bargains" on old lace and embroidery.
I love how you "tarted up" your lampshade. I am a lamp and lampshade junkie, so you have my attention immediately when you do something along those lines!
Lovely lace, too.
I grew up in a family where all the women did a lot of handwork, and luckily i do have some of the family treasures. But I also learned from my Mom to snatch up those forlorn and beautiful old pieces of handmade linens you find here in the USA at yard sales and thrift shops -- can't bear to let someone's careful handwork go un-appreciated!
Luckily for my wallet I can still find bargains.
Best wishes -- Cass
What happened to the cotton reels???
That Christmas quilt is going to be smashing - and I'm sure whoever possesses it will treasure it for Christmas decades to come.
What a nice idea, it looks very good.
This is just stunning!
