Vintage lace.





Another great vintage find while in IN—only this one came from my husband's granny's attic :). She had several boxes of ribbon and lace that she let me rummage through and I thought I'd share a bit of what I came home with. I never thought I'd be much of a fan of lace but I LOVE crocheted lace and the other was just too pretty to pass up. I'm sure I'll be able to use it somewhere on something. I have no idea how old some of these trims are. Granny just turned 86 this week and she sewed a lot when my mother-in-law was young, so perhaps some of these came from the 60's and 70's. Their attic is like a time capsule and treasure trove, full of antiques and odds and ends. It was so fun to climb up there and sift.
