"I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin."
Coco Chanel, April 29, 1939

Oh, so beautiful. My godmother used to collect antique lace. She made my mother's wedding dress with it.

I am on a vintage lace hunt to cover some black velvet curtains for my cottage. I wish I were in France right now as I'm having trouble sourcing here :(
