Spitze… heißt es in dieser Woche bei Our Beautiful World. Ach Herrje, habe ich gedacht. Ich bin kein Typ für Spitze. Aber dann fiel mir meine Vorliebe für Stofftaschentücher ein und die Tatsache, dass ich auf dem Weihnachtsbasar immer die gesamte Produktion einer älteren Dame aus dem Nachbardorf habe aufkaufen lassen. Konkurrenz gab es wohl nie…
Lace… is this week’s prompt at Our Beuatiful World. Oh goodness, was my first thought. I’m not the type for lace. But then I remembered my preference for the old-fashioned cotton handkerchiefs and the fact that I always bought a year’s worth of creativity of an elderly lady from a neighboring village at the Christmas Bazaar. Apparently, there were never any other potential buyers…
Wahrscheinlich ist das keine Spitze im engeren Sinn – aber dafür sind sie fein gearbeitet und riechen wunderbar lavendelig!
It’s probably not lace in the strictest sense – but at least they are very fine work and smell of lavender, for all that it’s worth!
Ich wünsche euch eine gute Woche!
Have a good week everybody!

Of course its lace, beautiful crochet lace! Those hankies are gorgeous and bring back lots of fond memories. I used to crochet lace edgings for hankies when I was a little girl, and give them as presents to my grandmother and mother.
