A friend gave me this whole stack of lace. Which belonged to the shop inventory of her aunt long ago. It had been stored in a damp attic for years. So I will be washing, drying and ironing all this lovely lace for the next couple of weeks...
I never was really statisfied with the decoration on my Edwardian hat. Untill I found this lovely burgundy colored flower. Now it's finally completly finished.
Although I love doing event, I also love the quiet time of the year. Now I have time to do the other things I love so much as well. Writing short stories and poems, doing costume research and ofcourse sewing!

I quite agree--that flower makes the hat!
What a wonderful friend you have, I'd love to get such a stack of old lace! :D
@Cathy it does, doesn't it! I am so happy :-)
@Fanny She appreciates the fact that I will be able to use it. And the quality of the lace is so high...It is a real nice gift.
Oooh, what gorgeous, fun, envy-inspiring lace! Please post details as you finish it!
And your hat looks faaaaab-ulous!
@The Dreamstress I am being a bad girl at the moment.... I am dyeing some of the lace in colors that I didn't like black. So I will be able to use it for my next Edwardian project. Which can be worn with the hat as well.
And thank you for you compliment on my hat!
what an interesting site ! nice to read!
