White Lace Bags with a Grey Tag

It is always such a joy when a customer appreciates

your creativity enough to place an order

for an item from you.

This is a bag which I created using a number of

vintage doilies, tray cloths, lace, threads and
a pretty pearl button

   

this is the result!

and then I realized that my client had mentioned

that she loved pearls also so I added a set of 

faux string pearls here.

Two of the large three roses were fashioned by myself

and I used various threads, angora fleece with some 

seam binding.

The handle was fashioned from a hand crocheted edging piece

I owned which I laced with cream sari silk ribbon.

The whole of the inside is lined with a cut lace doily

and closed with a metal fastener.

This image shows the back from a Battenberg lace doily.

Now this second bag which is unclaimed at this stage

should anyone be interested in purchasing it!

 is also created from a number of vintage doilies, laces,
roses, seam binding, an upcycled  embroidered
white cotton blouse

and a most delicate handkerchief 

 which I have embellished  with more lace
and stamped with this image which I am so fond of.

 The opening is lined here from the collar of the
blouse and adorned with more seam binding and
some matching faux pearls.

The back of the bag was created with a crazy patchwork
effect with the side seams made from dyed scrim.

Finally I thought I  would show you this little tag

which I created for Wendy of www.appleapricot.blogspot.com

with a little gift that went to her.

You have to be very affected by lace to appreciate the

layers of lace in this one - LOL!

 I used this very favorite image in greys which

 go so beautifully with the white, cream and black lace
don't you think?

I'm linking all of these to Becky's

Blissful Whites Wednesday at Timewashed.com and

Grey Dey Thursdey at Petite Michelle Louise blog.

So do pop over and check out all the inspirational

 white and greys there.

Thank you for all of your lovely visits here.

I'm trying my best to reciprocate!

Wishing you Happy Days!
