{5 French Brocante Porcelain Roses in Pink}

For you, 5 French Brocante Porcelain Roses in Pink. Are they not lovely? They would decorate any romantic table or buffet or make a great permanent display. They are available at my on line boutique, link below post. Our Queen of Roses and Pink; Rosetta from The Romantic Rose would love them, I know for sure! Do you like them as well?

These look  so nice and real, they are perfectly made.

Here they lean on one side, facing you...

Now they sit flat on the tablecloth (by the way, I've hand crocheted this one...).

Different angle...

Again on their side.

The tallest one is sitting flat here...

You got an idea.

Are they not lovely?

Sold out...

{My Lace Crocheted Handkerchief #5}

Since you all know now about the very fine DMC # 80 thread from my fore last post, why not showing here My Lace Crocheted Handkerchief #5? I make them with the very same thin and pointed crochet hook of 0.75 mm as used for doing the Crochet Edging of that Antique French Knotted Filet Lace... Links you find as usual below my post.

Here is another little treasure made with fine crocheted stitches...

Those photos are from May 25, hence the beautiful roses and gardenia blossom.

Do you like this fine crocheted lace pattern?

Showing more of Rebecca's 'A Gathering of Thoughts' hand painted train case.

Her blog you find on my sidebar or you just type in the words at the top of my blog in that search bar... That is very handy for finding ANY word.

A closeup of the hand crocheted lace work... done around this fine linen hankie.

Creating Heirloom Pieces indeed.

Pattern 58 from this German Neue Mode, crochet magazine I used.

Of course, this hankie would make a lovely lace pochette as well!

{Acrylic Frame with Transparent Acrylic BOLTS & NUTS}

As written already earlier, I did find in Milan, Italy these Transparent Acrylic BOLTS & NUTS to use with the Acrylic Frames. A perfect way for preserving your antique heirloom lace work from Grandma or other relative. No more worries about staining it or being afraid to use it at all. This is a unique way to display antique lace against a dark brick or wooden wall or as a window hanging. What do you think? 

• Perfect for hanging on a brick wall or on a wooden back ground. LINK for Purchase is below post.

• Or for hanging in the window...

• View by night.

Simple framing between two sheets of clear acrylic and fastened with the transparent Italian Bolts & Nuts. 

Nothing takes away from the beauty of the antique French knotted filet lace with cherubs.

On my on line boutique I do offer two of these, they could be hung facing each other or used individually.

I have not charged anything for the tedious crocheting around these antique pieces.

Sorry, both are SOLD OUT...

Just wanted to present them to others as an example of what can be done with any antique heirloom piece of lace. 

The advantage of this acrylic is also that it is safe for shipping. Of course, glass could be used as well, if someone would prefer that. 

Do you like it? 

Would you have some pieces of lace for displaying this way?

Ask if you want to purchase some of the Transparent Acrylic Bolt and Nuts for use with Acrylic Frames of your own!
