Antique lace - great for Valentines Day projects
Lots of lovely antique lace and vintage fabric square being listed next week.
Great for all those Valentines Day projects.
I shall start tomorrow by listing eight pieces of Antique lace.
I don't normally clean my lace as dealers usually like to clean it themselves using their own methods. However this lace had been stained with tea as was the fashion at the time. I've spent a week cleaning it so it is back to it's original colour and suitable for use by all the designers, students and crafters that buy from Rag Rescue.
The lace and vintage fabric will be listed on alternative days so you don't get bored.
So here are tomorrows listings -

Wonderful vintage Kensitas cigarette woven silks - c.1930s
These beautiful silk flowers were given away free in Kensitas Cigarette packets in the 1930s.
They came in a little card with a description of the flower and history.
The silk flowers I found do not have the cards but they would look superb incorporated into a quilt, patchwork or on a bag or cushion.

Eileen's 1920's inspired flapper headband
A while ago Eileen bought the black velvet piece from the Rag Rescue website. Yesterday she sent me this photo of what she had created with black velvet piece - a wonderful 1920's inspired black flapper headband - fascinator.
I think you will agree that she has used this velvet to it's best advantage and turned an unused, unwanted vintage item into a thing of beauty.
thank you for sharing this with us Eileen.

Antique and vintage quilt pieces
At the Rag Rescue website tomorrow.
Really disappointed today as we had hoped to take Molly our granddaughter sledging tomorrow morning. My husband went to look at the hill today and can you believe it there was hardly any snow on it. There was lots of grass showing which was covered with ice, but far too dangerous for an almost five year old to sledge on. Sob! Sob!
Please send us some of your snow.
