I love to daydream and plan. Sometimes I like it more than the actual carrying out of the plan. This picture is one of my plans. I want to make a random lace display in my cottage. I will have a rotating selection of designs, displays, and color themes; lace will definitely be apart of the plan.
I found this photo on a search of window display images. I don't have any claim to it and wish I could remember where it came from. I find it absolutely delightful and inspiring.
I have started collecting vintage crochet doilies from antique & thrift stores. I can picture expert fingers, dainty cotton thread and a minuscule crochet hook working in unison to create lace from a pattern passed down for generations. The fingers are gnarled from years of hard work, yet given the right tools they produce strips of delicate beauty. They are someone's history, their art. I feel an obligation to save them, preserve them and pass along to the next generation an appreciation for a craft fading from our world.
Until next time,
Sheryl
