| We went to an auction on Saturday. I had been home all week with the flu and really enjoyed being out of the house for the day. I bid on lots of great stuff , but..... the only thing that came home with me was this wonderful box of lace. |
 |
| I got this box for $17.50 and it is full of beautiful lace.... |
 |
| My camera does not do this lilac lace justice.....it is such a soft color and is very wide lace (about 8") |
 |
| This lovely aqua lace is about 4" wide... |
 |
| This lace is about 6" wide... |
 |
| There are 2 bolts of this one...it is just gorgeous! Can you see the touches of pink? It is about 5" wide. |
 |
| Some ruffled lace.... |
 |
| Peach, pink, white..... |
 |
| more lilac lace.... |
 |
| I can't wait to do a project with this scalloped lace... |
 |
| There was lots of cream colored lace......all about 4' wide. |
 |
 |
 |
| This is some 6" wide aqua lace.... |
 |
| Well, I put it all back in the box and it is headed to the studio.....I can't decide what to make first with all this beautiful lace to choose from! http://twelveoeight.blogspot.com/2013/02/pretty-things-link-party-7-and-miss.html http://www.sugaranddots.com/2013/02/what-i-whipped-up-wednesday.htm http://www.theshabbycreekcottage.com/2013/02/transformation-thursday-no-191.html http://www.craftsalamode.com/2013/02/welcome-to-what-to-do-weekends-party.html http://whipperberry.com/2013/02/friday-flair-link-party-smore-eclair-edition.html |

Oooh Penny... your beautiful lace is making me swoon!... especially that pale lavender one!... what a gorgeous find... also, your kitchen looks so pretty in the background... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear that you are feeling better. The flu that is going around really takes a lot out of a person so it is good to hear that you have recovered and are up and about.
LOVE all of this wonderful lace!!! Beautiful!
I have been getting bags of goodies from time to time from a fellow crafter who goes to our church who is cleaning out her stash. She said it either goes to me or to Salvation Army so I have gotten lace, ribbon roses, trims , wreaths and all kinds of goodies from her. It is so kind of her to pass them my way...
Now I need time to be able to do something with them.... LOL!!
Take care and I hope you continue to feel better...
Hugs,
Deb
Great find, can't wait to see what you make with it.
ReplyDeleteYou did great bidding and snagging all this beautiful lace for yourself! Can't wait to see what you create!

Wow, you got a great lot with that lace. Almost two years ago, when I was visiting in Maine, I went to an antique auction and won the bid on some great vintage and antique lace and crochet. I was so excited and am still enjoying it so I know how exciting that win was for you. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteBetsy
Oh my, how lovely it all is. I can't wait to see what you make. I found some pretty lace pieces at our fabric recycle shop a week ago. Have no idea when or how they will be used. For now, they are just eye candy in my lace jar.
ReplyDeleteOh my, such beautiful lace. Especially the cream and the aqua-what a treasure you found!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week and I'm happy your feeling better.

ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous find. I've been on the hunt for vintage lace lately, it's becoming hard to find around here. I've only snagged a couple of pieces lately. I would be thrilled to find a box full like you did. Can't wait to see what you create with it, whatever it is will be lovely.
Oh Penny . . . I am drooling over all that beautiful lace you found. Much fun ahead for you! Patti@OldThingsNew

Penny,what a lovely treasure trove. I find it incredulous the prices you pay over there in the US for such treasures. We would be paying 100's for something like that here :( Can't wait to see what you make with it all. x
ReplyDeleteYou hit the jackpot with all that pretty lace.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous buy! I can imagine all kinds of pretty sewing projects! I love your blog so much. I'm going to add it to my blog favs! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and wonderful win! It's like Christmas just sitting down and going through all of this beautiful lace! I am a bit of a lace and trim hog myself. LOL I was just talking to a girlfriend earlier today because she is trying to finish a project and ran out of lace. She is stopping by later to try and match her lace to all of mine. We actually met when we both worked at JoAnn Fabrics. We even were roommates at one time. You should have seen our apartment...fabric, lace, trims everywhere all the time and two sewing machines were always set up on your dining room table! I hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous lace ( I especially love the turquoise one - you don't see that in lace very often!!! )
ReplyDeleteWhat a score :)
Hugs,
Suzan
over from Transformation Thurs.. what a find.. lovely lace at the best price ever
ReplyDeleteLace! Yay, what a treasure! I love using that wide ruffled lace for the sleeves of my daughters' dresses. Gives them a pretty Colonial look!
ReplyDeleteI'm hosting my Homemaking Linkup Weekend and would love to have you join, if you'd like!
Have a great day!
