day 975 / 74:
i mentioned awhile back that a friend's aunt was finding beautiful lace, linen and crochet vintage gems for me from the North of England {see day 951 / 50}. i get these brown paper packages that honestly give me a fizz of excitement. i now have the most wonderful collection of lace trim, bonnets, christening gowns and collars. they are all being used to provide some inspiration for our own collection. (got to love good friends who support your new ventures by passing on these gems. thanks bon!)
now to get Claya modelling these bonnets before she gets too big.

ReplyDeleteThese are AMAZING! Wow
ReplyDeleteSo very lovely. I am always admiring vintage children's garments at antique stores. They still have a lot of life in them. x
ReplyDeleteBreathtakingly beautiful. Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteOh Dee, how did I miss this post ... they are just amazing, I can well understand your "Fizz" !!!
ReplyDeleteThe north is well known for it's lace.
ReplyDeleteI'm kidding, I can't believe you managed to get hold of these gems! We have very few vintage shops here, most are charity shops filled with tat (I've found a few nice things in four years) or 'vintage' shops filled with over-priced stuff from 2010.
