Lace bundles

I listed three collections of lace in my Etsy shop today. They are all unused old stock with their original labels and these labelled bundles are becoming so rare at the brocantes. They meant for your lace collections or vintage sewing item collections and should just be part of your vintage sewing basket display. It would be a shame to use the lace and ruin the lovely old labels.

Collection 1 - SOLD

Collection 2 -

Collection 3 - SOLD

HAPPY NEW YEAR! And a new listing resolution

Firstly, I would like to wish you all a happy, healthy and successful 2015. 

The shop got really busy before Christmas, which was great, of course, and I am so grateful to all my wonderful customers. It meant though that I had very little time for preparing new listings. But this is a new year and time to start properly again. I haven't made any new year resolutions other than just the one on here - to list three new items every day. From now on, lol, because me being me, I missed the first few days :-).

I did list a few things in the shop over the last couple of days, a few of which have already sold. Here are the new ones which are available -

A pair of really special antique French postcards with antique German glass glitter - 

A pair of vintage French crochet lace gloves - SOLD

Gorgeous antique French Valentines card with two cherubs and Paris address - SOLD

Antique French Holy communion bow armband - SOLD

I also listed another textile art inspiration kit as the first one was sold - ALL THREE KITS ARE SOLD

Tomorrow I'll be listing a few Valentines related pieces, sweet little heart shaped boxes and tiny trays. Stay tuned :-).

Yep, you have probably guessed that already from the lack of posts, lol, I have definitely run out of steam.

I put a couple of sweet fabric covered chocolate boxes in the shop today, thats it though -

This beautiful deep Burgundy red chocolate box - SOLD
