{My Lace Crocheted Handkerchief #2}

Another hand crocheted lace handkerchief from my private collection I love to show you here. They are all looking so different with their delicate lace pattern. Again I made my Lace Crocheted Handkerchief #2 out of very fine French DMC thread and with the thinnest crochet hook. Have you, your Mother or Grandmother done any of this work? Like to know if you also are holding on to such lace heirlooms.
Against a backdrop of my highly prized vintage train case. Painted by the talented Rebecca from A Gathering Place. As usual, you will find links related to this post, below.
Some of our own roses and a gardenia...
A detail of the Swiss cotton batiste embroidered handkerchief with my crocheted lace edge.
Before adding the crocheted lace, the handkerchief looked already very feminine and elegant with its hemstitched edges.
Our Aimee Yoshioka Gardenia goes perfect with it...
The selection of the lace edging is quite tedious as one needs to COUNT the hemstitched openings, that are in the purchased batiste hankie. Counting and checking IF the pattern will work with it. Once the first round is done, in about seven more tedious hours you usually finish such a bridal handkerchief.
It sure feels great for creating such romantic heirloom pieces...

  6. Hello Mariette, the handkerchief is a small masterpiece, as is the case well decorated! In my family my mother and grandmother have never been crocheting and embroidery but only grilled! A great big kiss Anna

  9. Liebe Mariette,
    dein Haus ist voller Schätze. Ich habe auch einmal Taschentücher umhäkelt. Eine endlose Arbeit aber das Ergebnis ist wunderschön. Dein Taschentuch ist fast zu schön, um es zu benutzen. Es ist auch ein wunderschönes Deckchen. Und mit den Blüten und dem tollen Koffer wieder bildschön arrangiert.
    Liebe Grüße, Johanna

  11. Ich liebe diese alten Taschentücher mit Häkelspitze auch sehr, besitze auch einige davon.
    Welch mühevolle Arbeit das ist. Aber wer seine Freude an solchen Tätigkeiten hat, wird diese auch mit Liebe ausführen.
    Wundervoll auch Deine Bilder in Verbindung mit Rosenköfferchen und Rosen ...

    Liebe Grüße
    Sara

  20. Dearest Mariette,
    Your Lace Crocheted Handkerchief is really gorgeous and beautiful☆☆☆ Yes, "heirloom" it is!!!
    Thank you very much for the feast for the eyes as usual♡♡♡
    Sending you lots of love from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

    ps> I really am sorry that I troubled you with my clumsiness again. I accidentally hit the post button for the one I am planning to post tomorrow . I put it back to draft, haha. (trying to link it) Sincerely,

  21. Beautiful pictures and beautiful colours. I love your work. Too bad I am too "anti" for anything handmade. My DIY purse looks just fine but it's not what I want it to be, it's not perfect. Anyway, I had on my mind to show it in one of my next posts.
    ...
    I don't like horror movies, not at all. :) I am not really sure about that abandon house. It's probably abandoned in the last war (1991-1995). I was born 1993 and not dead by luck. :D
    I like visiting old places covered with nettles and mystery. I always imagine someone drinking their coffee there. (and me taking pictures in empty room, only at different time)
    Time and space, time and space...my biggest confusions. But I sure took too much space for this comment. :)

    Love you so much!

  23. Passei para uma visitinha.
    Muito lindo, esse bordado é maravilhoso.
    Tenho dificuldade para postar comentários no seu blog, quase sempre não dá certo.
    Bom fim de semana!
    Beijinhos.

  24. Oh yes. As beautiful as all you do. And as I said a few weeks ago, your handwork is a thing of beauty and completely amazing. My grandmother on my Father's side did an enormous lot of crocheting. I have a bedspread she did and a tablecloth as well. Two of those. Counting the hemstitched edging openings and adjusting your lace work to those...I am just "knocked over" by the work and how tedious it was in a manner of speaking.
