Arsenic and Old Lace... Without the Arsenic (But With the Cup of Tea) - Part 3


So here we are, up bright and early, 5:30 in the morning, cup of coffee in hand, sorting, sizing, cropping, and uploading photos for part 3 of the lace saga - who knew blogging was so much work!

If any of you ladies (or possibly gents?) have any insight into the laces, such as the types of laces, possible ages, possible origins, similar laces you may have come across elsewhere, etc., please share. I would love to hear about them!

And now on to the rest of the laces.
