Creating with Gifted Lace

 Hello Dear Readers

Well I really hope you are not getting

too bored with me by now

always talking about

lace, linen and doilies - receiving it, buying it,

 talking about it and creating with it

because I have even more to share with you 

today

This most beautiful stash of the finest vintage net lace

doilies, broderie englaise and an array of 

bits and pieces including these most gorgeous

 hand tatted and Vintage knitted lace pieces

arrived in the mail from my most generous friend

Judy McCarthy who recently suspended her blog

"Judy's Fabrications" 

for a break for the time being.

 Thank you Judy so very much for always thinking of me!

Some of these have already been included in my works!

♥♥♥♥♥

And, all the way from Bornholm, Denmark

came this most beautifully wrapped gift

from Dorthe of

 www.denlillelade.blogspot.com

Another bundle of the most beautiful lace pieces,

vintage curtain, beaded ribbon,

with this accompanying die cut and lace tag

with a stone angel and wings - isn't it beautiful?

 (The other wing is on the underside of the tag!)

with an assortment of precious cut lace, collars,

embroidered doiley, handkerchief and motifs'

 Dorthe included some of these

beautiful glittery stars.

See how they sparkle?

These beautiful pieces will be used

when I create my Christmas angels with their

 soft flowing dresses of vintage lace and silk.

Thank you so very much my very dear friend - 

it's priceless and precious  

when our blogging friends know us that well that

they know what makes our hearts sing!

Little jewells of beauty!

Please go and visit Dorthe's blog if you don't already

know her and her gorgeous doll and mixed media

creations.

"Thoughts Far Away"

is the theme of this collage created

for another dear blogging friend (whom has not as yet received it).

I've always loved this image and 

I realize that very often these are the source

of what inspire me to create pieces that

will become endeared by others who also have

the same passion for laces, satin and sari ribbon and

embellishments like roses as I have!

Oh what beautiful textures!

This last collaged tag was a little

creation I came up with

this afternoon with some

French accents

it was made for a girlfriend's Birthday!

Hope she enjoys this little tresor!

Thank you everyone for enjoying 

your visits here and to all those

people who know how much I appreciate their

wonderful gifts of lace - the more they see

of these little creations - the more they

seem to want to offer and I am so

very grateful for that!

I'm linking to Ivy and Elephants
with this!

Thank you for your lovely comments - always!

I can feel another "Giveaway" mulling around in my head

for all of my faithful followers to enter

and know it won't be long before you see it posted here

so keep checking!

Love and blessings to you xox
