Box #5 - A Clear Box

While I was hunting in my closet, I ran across this Clear Box full of lace.

Some of the lace is cheap and ugly

(see the sea-green lace in the lower left-hand corner).  

Some of the lace is 6 inches wide polyester 

that was used to drape pews at someone's wedding.

Some of the lace, however, is hand made.  

Some of it is tatted:

Some of it is crocheted:

Some of it I remember having in my Mom's stash when I was in Junior High School in the 1970's.  This butterfly lace I used to embellish a cami (we called them undershirts).  I sliced down the front, sewed lace on both sides and laced it up with a ribbon - the way you would lace your shoes.

And a remnant bag of rick rack.

I had a turquoise floor length dress/smock with a full front yoke.
Nehru collar.
Pouffy sleeves.
1970-74.
On the yoke, we sewed a rainbow of rickrack.

Yes, this box is full of memories.
