LINENS, LACE AND TRIMS


Who doesn't love linens, lace and trims?
I am not quite sure why I love these things so much along with the fact that I think I may be slowly becoming a hoarder of sorts.
I thought I would share with you a sampling of my linens, lace and trims.



A beautiful tablecloth I found at a yard sale somewhere in my travels.




This is a basket with my appliques, I like to keep things separated some what.



I also have a Vintage Lines and Lace Pinterest board if you would be interested in looking at some fantastic linens and lace I found.
This basket is for doilies and such that I have cut up.



Here is a tote full of this flat lace.  A few years ago I purchased a box lot of this lace trim from a woman that had been into some sort of crafting for years.  There has to be miles and miles of this stuff.  If anyone would like to purchase some of this I could send you samples and we could take it from there, leave me a comment here.
Taking up a little bit of room in this tote is also a bunch of my dyed/altered organza bags, all ready to go to my swap partners as a little bit of extra goodies.




A random pile of lines and such.



My basket full of linens, table cloths and doilies.  I love collecting these things to not only work with but I can't seem to help myself when I go to yard sales or rummage sales,  I love to rummage around in the linens.
Yard and rummage sale season has begun, I am excited to see what I will find this year.



This large basket is full of scraps of all kinds.
I never throw out the smallest of pieces, it all ends up in this basket.
I really should make more shabby rolls, these scraps are perfect for that.
You can see the idea of my shabby rolls here
Do you keep every single scrap, too??
I hope you enjoyed my linens and lace Pinterest board.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Michele
