Here are a few pics of the lace pieces I found last week at the flea market. There are one or two doilies that are in very good condition but a lot of the other are not but for my use they are fine. I paid only 1.00 a piece or I did find two round about 8" doilies 2/1.00. They are not really fine lace but the heavier doily type. I also found one of the old crocheted tops that I assume they attached fabric to and wore as nighties. If anyone knows more about this I would be interested to know.I should add that after a good soaking the really grungy ones now look a lot better. I have trouble putting them in my stash when they look like that.

They are interesting... So many different cultures settled in Florida hard to say what type of use was done.
Freda, great finds, great prices!

Pretty goodies Freda! I sorted through my lace stash yesterday and reacquainted myself with what I have so hopefully I will actually remember to use it!!
Lovely laces and doilies! Nice addition to the stash. I accumulated heaps of crocheted doilies over the years, and as I don't collect them, and had no use for them, I did a couple of blog giveaways - they went in a flash!
But lace trims I keep in a box to use for embellishing fabric postcards, patchwork, or anything else that might need some frills.
