Turning Treasures Into Heirlooms

 

I thought it would be fun to take one day a week (if possible) and show you what I do with some of my Saturday Treasures.

 

I know that there are some Saturdays that I do not have an item that I can use in a different manner, but I'll try, OK?

 

Today, I'm giving you an idea of what to do with those old, vintage pieces of lace that I collect so fast.  I seem to always be able to find some lace each week at the Flea Market.  Last Saturday, what I found was a bag full of small, beautiful pieces of different varieties of lace.

 

I made this heart this week for my Etsy shop - www.20northora.etsy.com - and adorned it with some of those pieces of lace.  I added buttons, an old pearl earring and some crinkled seam binding from which hangs a small key. 

 

I just love the variety of lace used in projects - even if it is worn or discolored. I always hand sew my vintage lace onto a project because alot of it is very delicate.

 

So, try using up some of those old pieces of lace.

 

Enjoy!

 

Till next time, Judy

 

PS I have several new items in my Etsy and am trying to add a new one each day for a while.  Come visit.
