Hello to each of you! I sure hope everyone had a wonderful and fun filled 4th of July celebration and an all around beautiful weekend! For me, I had a lovely time indeed!Honey and I have been doing a little summer cleaning around the house, and in going through some old things I had packed away I came across some pretty little doilies I was saving to make sachets later. Well I must tell you, I had plum forgotten I even had them! It is not uncommon for me to put things away for later day crafting! I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to come across them again! With lace on my mind, I wanted to share with you Linens and Lace by Tricia Foley editor-at-large of Victoria Magazine. A book I have had for quite sometime now. Tricia gives tips on caring for delicate linens and includes a lace glossary! Not to mention the photos are absolutely beautiful! I find myself coming back to this book again and again! Enjoy!
Battenberg Lace is one of my favorite laces.... Oh how I love this beautiful lace!
What a lovely idea for lace and tassels! So beautiful the way this tassel is tied to the poster of the bed....ah, so romantic!
Now that I am overwhelmingly completely inspired, I think I am ready for those little sachets!! :o) Have a beautiful week each of you!Smiles....

Battenberg lace is so beautiful. My daughters all had lovely white dresses with Battenberg lace on them. I have those dresses stored away in case one day I have granddaughters.
Have a lovely time making your sachets! I hope you take a picture of them when you are through. :)
