I know myself, I will go crazy trying to find old laces and my house is brimful of enough fabric and textiles ! <br /><br />Since the Royal wedding, there has been a slew of people copying the wedding dress for their own. Few days after the wedding, our local news channel featured a tailor from China who made copies of the dresses and sold them for 60-70 pounds each! :)<br /><br />I think Pollyanna should go with what her heart desires :). And that will make her a happy and beautiful bride :)Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-39310624278438075212011-05-06T20:35:02.598-04:002011-05-06T20:35:02.598-04:00Oooohhh ... a woman after my own heart with all th...Oooohhh ... a woman after my own heart with all those precious pieces of lacework and such. I too have been collecting lace for years (as well as antique children's clothing), and am almost ready to post some of it on my blog. The triangular piece in your second photo looks alot like 'Italian Roseline', but I could be wrong. So happy I stumbled across your blog today! I'll be back soon.Monica Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16159484419991416401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-3644165425666971872011-04-30T14:20:56.418-04:002011-04-30T14:20:56.418-04:00I never knew you crocheted lace in your youth! How...I never knew you crocheted lace in your youth! How lovely. I can barely do a chain stitch, and when I do learn something slightly more complicated, I forget it in a few days. Do take care of your eyes - remember all those little girls who made lace in the olden days. Oh, and by the way she's Dutchess Catherine, not Princess. I think you have to be born a princess.<br />Lots of love,<br />MomHarriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08607850290415958747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-26575689769667941832011-04-29T20:06:57.163-04:002011-04-29T20:06:57.163-04:00Thanks Christine!

It is harder than I thought it would be to make the choices.... maybe I just need to make a whole bunch of wedding gowns and build a mini-boutique! LOL! I thought Princess Catherine's gown was STUNNING..... and there will probably be some similarities with Pollyanna's when I get it done!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-39685511869519891632011-04-29T19:53:18.999-04:002011-04-29T19:53:18.999-04:00Thank you Trish!
