New Baby Bonnet With Vintage Lace

I'm loving my newest creations made with vintage lace!

Another Use For My Vintage Lace

I use it to attach my shop tags to the products I sell.

Vintage Lace Project #2

I really wish I had a baby so I could put her in this sweet mermaid cocoon baby photo prop with matching headband. I love the way it turned out and I love the added touch of vintage lace. I plan to make a coordinating bikini top to complete this set.

I would be thrilled to find a photographer who could photograph this for me using a newborn baby on the beach. If there are any photographers interested, I will trade you the mermaid cocoon set for five photos. Contact me to let me know : )

Crochet pattern coming soon to my Etsy shop! www.propshop.etsy.com

Project #2 - Victorian Lace Bonnet

This is my first project using that gorgeous vintage lace I recently acquired. I really like the way it turned out. A combination of super soft thick and thin merino wool in powder pink, a yummy cream colored rose pin and long flowing tassels of two types of vintage lace in cream make this a nostalgic photo prop for baby girls. I have other projects planned for this lace, just you wait and see!

Size 0-6 months

$30 plus shipping. To purchase this bonnet, just leave a comment with your PayPal email address and I will send you an invoice. Since the rose pin and lace are OOAK, your hat may have a slightly different flower and lace but I promise you it will be just as beautiful as this one!  Or you can just go to my Etsy shop and purchase it here:   http://www.etsy.com/listing/87620365/victorian-lace-baby-bonnet-powder-pink

 

 

Vintage Lace

Awwwwww,  I LOVE this bundle of vintage lace I found on Ebay. For just 20 bucks, I got four pounds of glorious, frilly, girly lace in shades of cream, ecru, white, and tan. I was super excited when I received this huge lot of lace!! When I found out the substitute mail carrier had delivered it to the wrong house, I was not happy. Thankfully, she was kind enough to return to the wrong house, get my package and deliver it to ME : )

My 15-year old daughter, Sarah and I went through the lace together. She kept telling me to just dump it out but I found it much more gratifying to pull out each piece of lace one at a time.
I ended up dumping it out later so I could take a photo.

I can't wait to show you my new Victorian bonnet line for the shop : )
