Antique lace and lace doilies lampshades

So pleased that I found these on Pinterest by 
adore-vintage-home.tumblr.com. What a brilliant use of old lace and doilies.

Lace doilies will be added to the Rag Rescue website late May.

HAPPY EASTER

Sally bought some wonderful French vintage fabric from me that had chickens, chicks and eggs in the design. She has just sent me photo's of what she made with the fabric. I am sure you will agree that these items are just great.

Blogarama causes problems on blog sites.

Apologies if you couldn't get on this blog yesterday and instead got a large screen telling you that it was dangerous to go on the site. So did I.

This morning I googled the problem and discovered that my blog was fine and didn't contain any nasty viruses. The problem is with blogarama.com.

I had put a link to blogarama.com, on the right hand side bar, ages ago. Apparently they have been hacked and it was only dangerous if someone clicked on the link.

I have removed the link so all is well.

Apparently this is happening to 1000's of blogs so if you have the link on your blog then I suggest that you remove the code.

Important notice for Rag Rescue customers

I am going on holiday so I am afraid that as of 10pm tonight, the Rag Rescue website will be closed for orders. I had intended closing it in a weeks time but my mother has to go into hospital for investigative procedures two days before I fly out, so my plans have had to be re-arranged I'm afraid. You will still be able to see the contents of the website but not order.
I will re-open the website on my return on the 14th May with a sale of vintage fabrics throughout the week.
