Linens & Lace & Old Needlecraft Books

Bundles of fun!!

I picked up some goodies from and estate sale this weekend.
This is one. A little baggie of lace.

Quite a bundle of treasures here.
Most were 1 or 2 yard pieces, and then
some shorter pieces.

A few of the laces were newer, but most were vintage,
and all very delicate.

In these two picutre, there are two different
pieces of hand crocheted trim.
See the two with the little raised rosettes?

Here is a close up of the rosette trim.
Isn't it wonderful?
Some lace looked like it must have been trim for lingerie.
Very fine, and soft and delicate.

This is another bundle of goods from the Estate sale.
Let's see what we have.

And look at this.
It is a delicate sleeve off a blouse or dress.

Another view.
Can you see up close to the top opening where a piece
of ribbon or trim went through?
It probably made the beautiful bottom ruffle flare out even more.
Going to be tough deciding what to use this on.
I may just enjoy looking at it for awhile. =)
(any ideas??)

Some of you were anxious to see some of the Needlecraft pages.
It makes this a long post, but here goes.
(did not want you to have to wait till next week.) =)
Here are a few wonderful pictures from one of the books.



These are only some of the wonderful pages. I'll
share more another time.

Thanks for coming by this White Wednesday

blessings on your day.

More Hardware & and Some Thrifty Finds

Aren't these sweet little shoes?
They are ceramic. A little too new looking for me,
so think I will stain them up a bit.
They'll look very old then. =)

Three or more .....

would you believe 31 drawer pulls?
I had great plans for these.
I was going to do little signs or tags for the center,
and hang things from them.
You know. like hankies or ?

Another treasure.
and more...
Thesr are 6" wide, and look at the patina on some of them.

Yep. I'm cleaning out my hardware drawers.
I have gathered all these wonderful pieces, and
do not have time to make them up into things,
so out they go!!

1960's dresser drawer pulls.
Wouldn't they be cute on a board for towels.
Or hang your scarves from?
Hmmm. maybe I'd better keep some.

Oh phooey with the sideways pictures. =/

More drawer pulls.
Old, but not sure how old.
Cool though huh?

Wonderful 1920's Needlecraft Books
I'll show you the wonderful insides soon.
*Yards and yards of lace, a sweet doily
(got a bag of these. In the laundry now)
and a 5" sweet little round box.
Not sure if it is old or not, but I loved it.

Yard and yards:

I just had to know how many yards were on there,
so I took it all off the bolt and measured it.
22yards!!!


How about a bunch of dishes for $5.00

Does any one know what this stands for or if
it is good??
That's all for today.
Hope you will check out these nice blogs and
thanks the hostesses for their super job!!

Blessings on your day
