Pearls and Lace Thursday #32 and Last Days for the Giveaway!

Well, they did it.  Victoria Magazine absolutely has the BEST magazine this time!  And I got it before I saw it on the shelf at the store!

Imagine my SURPRISE when I saw the PEARLS section, an article about Treasure from the Sea, mother-of-pearl pieces that are gorgeous!  What could be better for a Pearls and Lace girl than that????

I fell in love with the cutlery and gazed at the beauty of the arrangements.

Even the cover was gorgeous this time....Glad the drool wiped right off!!

Then a few pages over I see this:

The Allure of Lace.  Ahhhhhhh, I was in heaven.  I know my husband was looking at me with a strange look as I looked and sighed, he asked me a question I think, but who could hear with these gorgeous laces to gaze upon?? 

And it wasn't just a page, or just 2 pages of lovelies, it was numerous pages!

Oh I'm in heaven with with issue.

Thank you Victoria, you made my month!

Pearls and Lace Thursday #31 and the Giveaway is Still OPEN!

Remember the song in the movie Oliver Twist where the boys are singing, "Food, Glorious Food!"?

Well, I see these laces and think, "Lace, Glorious Lace!!"

I will never have enough it seems.  Whenever I look on Etsy, it's for lace as well as buttons.  When I go to a garage sale or a thrift store, it's the lace as well.

The textures, the beauty, the colors, I just must have more lace!

Whether crocheted or tatted, hand made or even machine made, beautiful elements add up to make my heart skip a beat when I find some.

Above is some treasured tatting edging that I found for a song at a yard sale.  The person who made it took HOURS of precious time to tat these many many yards of beauty.

And these piles of crocheted lovelies?  Perhaps they were intended to be a tablecloth or a bedspread, but close to 200 of them were my very latest purchase.  Oh the possibilities!!

And these below are just a few of the numerous cards of laces I found at a local garage sale.  I couldn't believe how much was there!  I have throroughly enjoyed making pillows using these beauties and hope to have many more made this coming year and available at my Etsy store.

And speaking of the Etsy store, don't forget about my current Giveaway!

Please follow the rules for entering here at this post.  The last day to enter is December 31st, and I will pick the winner soon after that.

And, since this is a Pearls and Lace Thursday post, please feel free to join me with your post of lovelies.
