Lacebook Journal Pages and a Few Finds

You might remember that I am taking part

in a collaborative Round Robin

Lacebook Group.

There are 6 women in our Yahoo Group.

The subject of this book for Deb (Deb has no blog)

is "Victorian Couples" which gave me this

opportunity

to feature my grandparents!

Isn't that the most beautiful posy Clarice is holding!

She was born in 1899 and married Edward (Fred)

in the early 1920's.

These are the parents of my father, James, who died

only last August at the age of 90.

The next page (of the two I had to contribute) is

of an unknown couple.

This is an original postcard which was retrieved from a

house fire, the owners of which were not at all

interested in keeping, so it ended up in the

hands of my husband along with many others

like this.

The postcard shows some brown tinging with evidence of

a fire.  I surrounded this postcard with a hand crocheted

cream frame which was the perfect size for this

piece.

Some of the vintage lace, and beaded lace

were gifted to my by some lovely friends which I

was able to use in these pieces.

I do hope Deb will be happy with these additions to her lacebook

when it arrives back in the U.S.

**************************

Speaking of lace - I have a few gorgeous pieces of

vintage lace to show you

These tiny treasures I have acquired very recently

and am so looking forward to using them

in some future projects.

As well as these I thought you might like to see some

beautiful crochet cottons which I purchased as

a lot

along with this very nice frame

which is begging for a vintage cabinet card, postcard

or something similar!

And to finish off this post I am going to show here

the most delightful little antique plate

which has a diameter of only 3inches.

Isn't that just so beautiful?

♥♥♥

A huge "thank you" to all my wonderful followers -

new and old for visiting and commenting

even if it is just to say "Hi" - you are so welcome

and appreciated.
