You did a great job showing ALL of it and see some of the detail. Amazing is all I can say. I have a few pieces from my great aunts and my cousin (who knows what to do with it) has even more. The beauty and the detail truly is incredible. I also love the other pieces you found- especially the drawer pull. So glad I got off work early to binge your videos I haven't watched. ❤️😊
Prior to WWII, it was common for dressmakers/housewives to remove trims, buttons, ribbons and even zippers when a garment became unwearable and use them on a new garment. Even parts of the garment fabric not worn out were use in quilts. Very little was wasted.
I have box of similar pieces that I got from my aunt. She was 1 of 6 girls as was my grandma and I am also. She said that nothing was thrown away when she was growing up - when something was worn out the buttons and trims were cut off the fabric turned into rags or patches and the trims saved for using on something else. I have lace from pillows, from nightgowns, blouses, dresses etc. Netting from hats. Anyway the point was they didnt throw out anything and a lot of the laces were made by their maiden aunts and their grandmas. I love your collection and so appreciate that you love what you have. Today there will be nothing to hand down as it is all gotten rid of as soon as it is out of fashion, such a shame.
I think a lot of the round pieces were on the edge of pillowcases, some were off of slips and a lot were collars and cuffs and that one fabric piece is a jabot for the neck of a dress. Such beauties, I never get tired of looking at them and for them.
Just a note..if you boil at least 4 avocado seeds til the water is a deep coral color. Leave cotton pieces in the water to cool you get a beautiful dusky pink color.
I found a gorgeous old piece of lace I used on a lamp. It was so yellow. I made a thick soup of powdered Tide and warm water. I soaked it in the solution for a day and they came out perfectly white!
This is the first time watching one of your videos and I’m glad it’s the lace one. I have collected antique lace as well and love it. I can tell you that the round piece with the drawstring is what was used on corset covers. I researched them and since I had a couple I made my adult daughter one to wear as a summer top. You find them on Etsy sometimes but google it and you’ll see them. Good finds!
My mouth is watering over the old lace pieces. I have never seen anything close to that in an op shop (what we call thrift stores here in Australia). I do have a collection of antique lace and collars, but all were purchased at vintage/antique stores at exorbitant prices in comparison to what you purchased. 😱
The green bowl is perfect for Winter bulbs!! You may be starting a new collection with your little butter pat!!😂. Oh my gosh that lace!!😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍 and the price was great! Great find baby!!
That lace OMG 😲 can't believe you found that at Goodwill ours never has stuff like that...never has antiques or real vintage stuff you have to hit an estate sale to get that...love the other items from Goodwill also the small dish is so cute.
Oh what beautiful trim pieces. You could place that drawer pull upside down...hang it on your wall to display the small plate...the green bowl will be stunning for your xmas decor
Love the sweet butter pat and all of those trims! I’m excited to see how you use them! Nottingham was known for its lace and actually, I used to work in the old lace market! x
I’ve been hunting for old lace at my Goodwill with no luck. I loved how Rachael from Sweet and Simple Home stored some in a vintage mason jar 😊. You found some beautiful pieces!
It was too fast for me because I kept FAINTING!!! Then when I came to, I'd have to restart the video. What a fantastic day you had the thrift store! I would have driven away with that stash of gorgeousness like I was driving the getaway car from. S bank robbery!
I have a really pretty all original Eastlake Vanity with original pulls and carving and all the marble. I want to sell it but have no idea how to do that so someone buys it that appreciates it. About 1880 to 1890.
Hi! I don’t know a lot about the different types of needlework. I’ve tried to research online and figure out what to call different items but I have not been successful. I just think these pieces are so beautiful and I was so happy to find them.
