You're such a treasure to share this information. I become more and more fascinated with antique lace with each piece you share in photos. Thank you!

Oh, you're trying to tempt us all to enjoy laces as much as you do - almost have me convinced!

Very good! Beautifully written with meaningful references. The field of lace making and lace appreciation gets narrower and narrower, hope your lovely writing will support the interest! Keep writing!!!

Sharron, You should consider including a link to this article on your Rook and Raven website because people stumbling through Ebay may have no idea about any of this and your article leads to greater appreciation for the lace arts, not just snagging a deal on Ebay.

I have a literal chest full of antique lace, doilies, runners, linens, hankies you name it that was my mothers who now has Alzheimer’s. I have no idea where to start to see if I have anything that is worth anything. Knowing my mom, I do. I don’t want to try to sell something for $5 and find out it’s worth $100.

So many women are in the same position, Lisa. I don't know what I can do for you, unless you live in California, but feel free to contact me if you like via rookandraven.weebly.com. I will see what suggestions and referrals I can offer.
