I can't even imagine the skill involved in producing handmade lace. I know much of the lace made today is produced on machines, but the intricacy and beauty of vintage and handmade lace is pretty much unparalleled.

He had contacts in all the lace-making countries (and my uncle, who took over the business) used to keep all the postage stamps involved in his transactions - and share them out between a cousin and myself. Cousin has a particularly strong Swiss stamp collection: I got a lot of stamps from other places, plus not as many Swiss ones! Still like the lace that provided them better though!Isobel Morrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13562228276170917504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6278306493300342183.post-32799346013135567402012-02-10T12:23:57.014-06:002012-02-10T12:23:57.014-06:00@Paige - I didn't have even a touch of lace on...@Paige - I didn't have even a touch of lace on my gown either... and the truth is I really like it. When I got married in 2003, lace was not very popular, but rouched, asymmetrical waistlines were - so that's what I went with. I really loved my gown, but were I to do it over again... vintage looking lace - all the way :)Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10975749493154973502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6278306493300342183.post-44883405393145577402012-02-10T09:58:44.894-06:002012-02-10T09:58:44.894-06:00Beautiful lacey finds!

Maybe it we do an elaborate vow renewal someday I'll get one. That Claire Pettibone one is exactly what I was originally looking for.Paige @ Little Nostalgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978050087934003216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6278306493300342183.post-42386394031017698722012-02-10T08:44:10.095-06:002012-02-10T08:44:10.095-06:00@Tisha- I think that and the Jim Hjelm are my favo...@Tisha- I think that and the Jim Hjelm are my favorites...
