To use or not to use….

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!
