Vintage Roses and Lace Clutch

From time to time I have made

these clutches

often as a "giveaway" here on my blog.

I have just made another one which is going into

my etsy shop

at www.suziqu.etsy.com

I get so much pleasure from putting these together

as I get a chance to use some of these

gorgeous vintage laces, doilies

and embroidered tray cloths

which I have been collecting over the years.

Look at this gorgeous embroidered butterfly on this piece.

I have lined it with some very soft beige and white cotton with a

beautiful large flower printed over it.

and embellished it with some roses dyed from cheesecloth

and added layers of collaged

dyed doilies

topped with a cameo and pearls.



and finally the back of the clutch

is embellished with

another dyed doiley

and it looks so pretty I think!

I have bordered the whole purse with some

very soft dyed cotton lace.

So if this appeals to you then go visit my Etsy

for more details.

Just thought I'd share some Summer love

with this most beautiful rose

called

"Sally Holmes"

growing happily in two places in our garden.

Isn't she a real winner?

Enjoy! xxxSuzy
