<p>[QUOTE="Crow, post: 8344385, member: 80290"]Hello! I have some pieces of antique lace that my mother's grandmother collected (my mother is nearly 70, if that's any help, and I have no idea when or how her grandma started collecting the lace) and these four pieces are just so incredibly interesting to me that I just have to know when and/or where they're from lol. If anyone could help in any way, it would be much appreciated!</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, while I'm here, what might be the best method to clean and whiten the lace? And do you think I could use it in a sewing project? All the different sizes of lion and palm tree lace is screaming at me to be made into one of those Edwardian insertion lace blouses. I don't know if I'll ever even get around to sewing one, but if I did, would it be ok to use it?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>(Sorry if this is the wrong category to be posting this in!
