Let’s use our lace this Christmas

This Christmas I’m airing my lace.  Not just my bobbin lace, but also the machine made lace that I have collected over the years.  The year took a few unexpected turns, and if I had to rely only on my bobbin lace output for the year I would have very little to work with!

Over the last few months I have been working on creating five new Christmas boards on Pinterest.  I was so inspired by the creative ways in which people use their lace, that I decided to decorate my house with lace this festive season.   I created little lace vignettes around the house where I can pause for a moment , be present,  and reflect on our  beautiful craft.

I miss my lace when it is packed away and rummaging through my old lace boxes and tins gave rise to great wonder, surprise, and joy.
