A box full of lace

What do you do with a box full of antique broderie anglaise lace? Any suggestions?

Saturday, 23 November 2013

Just listed the most divine tape lace
It is fairly wide with a floral slightly abstract pattern that belongs in fairyland... I can't help imagining this turned unto a fabulous dolls dress or the most romantic of wedding veils.
Any suggestions?

Just listed this exquisite piece of Art Deco embroidery in our Etsy shop
It is so beautiful that one doesn't need a vivid imagination to repurpose
Any ideas anyone?
I can see it as the cover of a cushion or similar

After a long summer recess in which we moved homes and started a major renovation project, BrocanteArt is now back on its feet. We are exhibiting at the London Antiques Textiles Fair this Sunday 6th October at the Gorgeous Chelsea Town Hall with a huge variety of our stock for sale as well as other wonderful sellers from up and down the country

 I just found this most wonderful blog which is run by an American in Normandy that includes fantastic home decor and delicious recipes
