One of the laces you used looked like a woven lace ~ it was a square or rectangle scarf maybe ~ do you know anything about what kind of lace it is ~ its origins any kind of history ~ I have 8 floor to ceiling curtain panels and several buffet scarves made of that style of lace. The curtains hung in my grandmother's dining room as far back as I can remember. They are extremely heavy and in perfect condition. I not planning on selling them ~ I just want to know a little history of that style of lace. They look like they are hand woven and tied. So much work on them. Probably some type of loom. Any help anyone can give me is greatly appreciated. marysrosecottage@yahoo.com<br />As always I love your blog and All the pretties you share with us.<br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04924658558730736909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-30001098898945066032013-04-16T19:37:25.289-05:002013-04-16T19:37:25.289-05:00Hi Rebecca!

QUESTION: How does the heat from the bulb affect the lace? Does it get hot, warm or do you feel there is enough ventilation to keep it from being a hazard? I have a real fear of fire so this is a big thing for me. I suppose I could always use an incandescent bulb eh? Lovely work and worth the try I must say. Hugs.

I thought I would include a Psalm on my blog everyday for those who wanted to follow along in a corporate type reading. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
