To use or not to use…That´s the question!
Sometimes you get vintage items and ask yourself “should I use them for a project or just collect, so they can be preserved?”
Usually I decide to use them, if the items are not too rare and precious or so delicate in condition, that using ist out of question.
In this case, I got a vintage display-sample from the 30s or 40s with some beautiful Plauener-Tüllspitze (net lace from Plauen in Germany).
The old rose items in the middle are acctually the two parts of a collar, but I thought, they would make fantastic embelishments for a bra…..
I was right, as you can see in the picture.
So it you decide to work with your vintage treasures, be gentle and respectful and don´t forget, they where once made for use and there is no reason, why they should not come back to light and shine!
