Featured Lace lot small doilies -- need a few keywords to list

I know ZIP about lace.

My friend ("P") has a very wealthy older friend and these were in that person's family and being donated. The wealthy older friend asked "P" if she wanted them for a sewing project. I've mentioned this before on the site, I have an arrangement where "P" finds me things I post on Ebay and we put all proceeds into a lunch fund.

"P" decided she wasn't going to use these after all, and was going to donate to GW, and I said, "Maybe I could get $20 or more on Ebay for our lunch fund." I know some lace isn't that great for resale. Some has staining, too --- but overall not.

Before I list, any keywords come to mind for my listing? There are around 50 pcs total. OR if any particular one looks especially of interest for resale, please let me know. I just wanted any easy sale -- so didn't spread all 50 out for a photo. Thinking someone could use these for a sewing project or craft. Appreciate any keywords/thoughts. Thank you!

 

Oooooh! Wish I could sew! Someone who restores old clothing might be very pleased with some of those, and also a person who makes doll clothing. Good luck!

 

Is it @Northern Lights Lodge
that knows about this sort of things?
I always picked up similar ones at sales and gave them to my neighbor who used them for show.

 

Yes, it is. I hope she sees your tag.

 

Most of those look commercial rather than hand-made. A crafter would love them.

 

Arent they called drink coasters ?

 

Some of them are. Some aren't.

 

Thanks for the views. Some young people are doing some fun clothing add-ons, I could see these used for that. Doll clothing is another idea.

I'm going to pop them up on Ebay and we'll see if we get a lunch out of it.

Thanks!

 

Let us know how you do! I started picking up linens, doilies, lace. Can’t recall if I’ve sold any yet. Should prob figure out if I should keep grabbing them or start leaving them again. They get ignored so often I figured there may be opportunity there.

 

I tend to snag anything that looks hand-made. I've been known to use them as packing in Secret Santa or other gifts, much to the delight of a joolie or two.

 

I listed these today -- has one bid so far at $19.99.

 

Anyway... hope that helps! you have a lovely collection! If you need to know more tag me!

Cheerio,
Leslie

 

Hi Leslie,

Very helpful. Just noticed there were more responses.

I luckily listed as an auction and not BIN. The lot (even with disclosed staining on a few) wound up selling for $92.

So pleased.

Thank you for the help.

 

Good-Oh!!!

 

Way to go Lucille. Congrats.

 

Wonderful!
