Smaller laces
Lace, lace and more lace!!!!
This weekend, I have been to France to visit some dear friends and to buy some lace, to take to the Paris dollshouse show S.I.M.P.
I have spent hours and hours admiring every little piece, admiring the work(wo)manship and wondering at the several hours necessary to complete things so tiny.
I love to iron each piece carefully. Usually, I prefere not to wash the pieces and leave it as the french say "dans sons jus", but sometimes even I have to admit it is a bit too much jus...
But no task is too daunting when you have such moral support, pipping from a huge (and much delayed...) pile of laundry...

Irish crochet lace
For a baby gown
Here I am, back from the Tom Bishop dollhouse fair, at Madrid!
I am quite excited about the success my lace is making at dollhouse fairs. I love seeing people going trough my treasures, see the glint in their eyes when they found that special piece they were looking for, and the way they talk about their tiny houses and dolls.
At the fair, someone asked me for a piece of lace for a baby's christening gown. Here are two ideas:
Tule Lace, 0,75 x 9 cms (7 Euro)
