A Very Nice Morning

This morning I sat in my Garden and wrapped this jumble of lace onto a card.

I have been going through all the lace I have been collecting.

Keeping part of all of it to use.

And slowly offering up the extra in my Web Shop.

My Morning Glory's were lovely and have such happy faces.

Until the sun hits them.  

That's about the time the air conditioning beckons me indoors.

Very Pretty Lace!

This is  galoon lace.

This is a newer lace that I love!

We laid it all out  to see the different pieces.  Click to enlarge.

I've  had it for a little while but was too busy to put photos on my Web Shop.

Until yesterday.  That's how I spent my 4th of July!

At the end of the day, all was labeled and tucked nicely away.  And was well represented in My Web Shop.

Fancy Lace Edgings

This is the lace I have chosen for the Daydress I am going to make.

I'll use the lace at the top because this dress needs the smaller lace.

You can see all the new laces Here.

Just scroll to the bottom of the page.

Now, this lace bears some explanation.  It looks like two lace insertions joined together.  But it is only one piece of lace and isn't it beautiful?

  Instant Fancy Band!

I LOVE LACE! I LOVE LACE! I LOVE LACE!

How to Organize Antique Lace?

I love Antique Lace.

I just love lace, really.  But some of the prettiest laces are old.

Here is some of my lace wrapped around a toilet paper holder.

So, what I want to know is...

How do you organize Antique Lace!! ??

 Really, I am asking all of you to give me good ideas about this.  Send me pictures if you can.  I will share them.

This is how I don't do a good job organizing  my Antique Lace.  

I need help!

It's beautiful lace and deserves a nice storage space.

I'm waiting to hear from you!

added: You need to view the comments to see how others store their lace.  Here is a link to a wonderful storage idea from Faith, Grace and Crafts!  Don't miss it.  

"Of many Arts, one surpasses all.  For the maiden seated at her work flashes the smooth balls and thousand threads into the circle, ... and from this, her amusement, makes as much profit as a man earns by the sweat of his brow, and no maiden ever complains, at even, of the length of the day.  The issue is a fine web, which feeds the pride of the whole globe; which surrounds with its fine border cloaks and tuckers, and shows grandly round the throats and hands of Kings."               - Jacob Van Eyck, 1651.

Lace is a lovely part of life!
