March 2, 2010

VINTAGE WHITE LACE FOR WEDNESDAY!

I have been having such a hard time getting organized for White Wednesday lately, and am so happy to have this post ready so I can once again join in on the W.W. fun!!!
Thank-you to Kathleen at Faded Charm Cottage for hosting......check out Kathleen's blog for links to
all the participants.
These little gift bags were created with some white vintage lace I found in a box of my
grandmother's sewing materials.
I found the idea for these lace bags in a wonderful book I have called, Vintage Treasures, written
by Jane Cassini & Ann Brownfield.
The bags were easily created by sewing the lace (which is lined with tissue paper so it holds it's shape)
 into a rectangular shape.
A bit of extra ribbon and lace looped through a vintage belt buckle finishes the front of the bag.

Happy White Wednesday my blogging friends!!

How wonderful that you were able to re-purpose something from your Grandmother. I love when we are able make things that hold deeper meaning.

Beautiful gift bags Janis. They look so sweet and elegant. I love when the wrapping of a gift is just as special as the gift itself.

Hi my friend, what a special bag. I hope you come visit me and give me some advise on my vintage room. Vintage is so new to me and there are so making talented people like yourself that can make such cool things.

I love that you found lace in grandma's things.
