A little lace goes a long way ……
Antique Lace
Its amazing how far a little piece of lace can go in making a room extra special …. I collect my pieces from Sweden or sometimes source them online … you can get fantastic bundles of lace that way … all handsewn … how amazing when we humans had TIME …. to sew intricate lace by hand, embroider, write beautiful letters …. so theraputic, where did that kind of TIME go …. I try to bring it back into my everyday life …. here I have placed some of my beautiful pieces of lace in a dome … by the side I have a empty box of matches … so easy to make …. just glue on brown paper to either side of empty matcbox, wrap around some lace and add string with trinket upon it … makes a great little box for knick- knacks ….
I love domes…. there are so many ways to use them ….. great for showing off delicate items … here I have added a jewel studded cross and more lace upon the outside … I added a beautiful glass heart inside too …
I had this made for my husbands wedding present … he proposed to me in the middle of the James Stuart film ‘It’s a wonderful Life’ … now for those who have watched it … you will understand ‘lassos the moon’ … great film to watch at christmas by the way ….. talking of christmas I lit the first fire a couple of nights ago … I love autumn so much ….. more of that in another blog I think … back to the lace .. it’s just embroided upon a lace tablecloth which is backed onto a piece of wood …
just place a few candle holders on a sheet of old music paper … wrap around some lace to the holders … and you have a nice display …
last but not least …. wrap lace around yourself … Ewa I Walla of course … have a great day Madeleine x
