Vintage Lace & Bottles





Today I got all of the
lace out of my flea market
shopping cart and got
busy tea dying it ~
The hot sun today was
perfect for drying the
lace fast :)

I needed a good drying
rack though and 
remembered this ladder
in my yard ~ 

It worked perfect!!

The rungs gave alot
of area to drape the
lace over ~

After it was dry
and ironed I got busy
creating the bottles in
the picture above for
a shop in San Diego ~

My very favorite
part of what I do is 
the creating part ❤

The bottles are absolutely gorgeous. Even just the drying lace hanging on the ladder is very pretty. Looks like it was beautiful weather for doing just about anything outdoors. Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Tammy

Who knew, you take extra lace and make beautiful bottles like this. You really have a creative flair. The lace looks gorgeous hanging on the ladder too.
Love your header and all the ruffles. Beautiful!

Those bottles are absolutely enchanting! Just beautiful, oh, they would look perfect on my mantel! You know, I've never read anything on the proper way or best way to dye lace. Do you or anyone reading here, know of a good tutorial for that?
Loving your blog...
