Another hand crocheted lace handkerchief from my private collection I love to show you here. They are all looking so different with their delicate lace pattern. Again I made my Lace Crocheted Handkerchief #2 out of very fine French DMC thread and with the thinnest crochet hook. Have you, your Mother or Grandmother done any of this work? Like to know if you also are holding on to such lace heirlooms.
Against a backdrop of my highly prized vintage train case. Painted by the talented Rebecca from A Gathering Place. As usual, you will find links related to this post, below.
Some of our own roses and a gardenia...
A detail of the Swiss cotton batiste embroidered handkerchief with my crocheted lace edge.
Before adding the crocheted lace, the handkerchief looked already very feminine and elegant with its hemstitched edges.
Our Aimee Yoshioka Gardenia goes perfect with it...
The selection of the lace edging is quite tedious as one needs to COUNT the hemstitched openings, that are in the purchased batiste hankie. Counting and checking IF the pattern will work with it. Once the first round is done, in about seven more tedious hours you usually finish such a bridal handkerchief.
It sure feels great for creating such romantic heirloom pieces...

ReplyDeleteHello Mariette, the handkerchief is a small masterpiece, as is the case well decorated! In my family my mother and grandmother have never been crocheting and embroidery but only grilled! A great big kiss Anna

Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletedein Haus ist voller Schätze. Ich habe auch einmal Taschentücher umhäkelt. Eine endlose Arbeit aber das Ergebnis ist wunderschön. Dein Taschentuch ist fast zu schön, um es zu benutzen. Es ist auch ein wunderschönes Deckchen. Und mit den Blüten und dem tollen Koffer wieder bildschön arrangiert.
Liebe Grüße, Johanna
So very pretty! And such a beautiful display with the flowers and lovely train case. Have a great day. Tammy
ReplyDeleteIch liebe diese alten Taschentücher mit Häkelspitze auch sehr, besitze auch einige davon.
ReplyDeleteWelch mühevolle Arbeit das ist. Aber wer seine Freude an solchen Tätigkeiten hat, wird diese auch mit Liebe ausführen.
Wundervoll auch Deine Bilder in Verbindung mit Rosenköfferchen und Rosen ...
Liebe Grüße
Sara
Wat een prachtig zakdoekje heb je gemaakt en de foto's ook zulke mooie stillevens. Fijne dag, lieve groet
ReplyDeleteGreetings Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteYour hankie is so beautiful and your work is stunning as always. Love your pics with the roses and gorgeous train case.
Thank you my friend for all your kindness and uplifting words over the last month. It has meant so much.
Have a wonderful weekend and blessings to you always.
Love to you, Celestina Marie
Dear Mariette, Thank you so much for your very sweet and kind (and helpful) comments. I have just discovered your beautiful blog.
ReplyDeleteYour hankerchief is so lovely and delicate, especially next to your beautiful train case and flowers. xx
Mooi gemaakt Mariette. En zie rozen en gardenia's geven er nog een plusje aan.
ReplyDeleteGroeten Janny

ReplyDeleteHi Mariette, your handkerchief is amazing! I don't think my mother or grandmother have crocheted. You displayed it very beautifully, too, with pretty flowers and vintage train case :-) I always enjoy seeing your photos!
ReplyDeleteDearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteYour Lace Crocheted Handkerchief is really gorgeous and beautiful☆☆☆ Yes, "heirloom" it is!!!
Thank you very much for the feast for the eyes as usual♡♡♡
Sending you lots of love from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
ps> I really am sorry that I troubled you with my clumsiness again. I accidentally hit the post button for the one I am planning to post tomorrow . I put it back to draft, haha. (trying to link it) Sincerely,
Beautiful pictures and beautiful colours. I love your work. Too bad I am too "anti" for anything handmade. My DIY purse looks just fine but it's not what I want it to be, it's not perfect. Anyway, I had on my mind to show it in one of my next posts.

I don't like horror movies, not at all. :) I am not really sure about that abandon house. It's probably abandoned in the last war (1991-1995). I was born 1993 and not dead by luck. :D
I like visiting old places covered with nettles and mystery. I always imagine someone drinking their coffee there. (and me taking pictures in empty room, only at different time)
Time and space, time and space...my biggest confusions. But I sure took too much space for this comment. :)
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteIt all would be interested so that I will have put a few comments on your photos I enjoyed so much.
Love you so much!
Michiko
Passei para uma visitinha.
ReplyDeleteMuito lindo, esse bordado é maravilhoso.
Tenho dificuldade para postar comentários no seu blog, quase sempre não dá certo.
Bom fim de semana!
Beijinhos.

Oh yes. As beautiful as all you do. And as I said a few weeks ago, your handwork is a thing of beauty and completely amazing. My grandmother on my Father's side did an enormous lot of crocheting. I have a bedspread she did and a tablecloth as well. Two of those. Counting the hemstitched edging openings and adjusting your lace work to those...I am just "knocked over" by the work and how tedious it was in a manner of speaking.
ReplyDeleteDearest Carole,
DeleteThank you so much—from your mouth it means a lot to me.
Hugs,
Mariette
