treasures

 Nope.   Not a shuttle.   It is a plastic pin!  But I liked it and wanted it for my tatting tote.   A fun $5 find.

This lovely mug, with lace/button imprints was purchased at the Lubznik Art festival.   The maker said she uses crochet lace to imprint the pieces.  It is perfect in my sewing room.     https://www.undertheglaze.com/

 Lucky me with talented friends.   GF Beth made this delightful scissor holder -- The specialty stitches are stunning!!!

If you follow tatting blogs ... you will be familiar with Umi and Tsuru's blog.   She has hosted a few giveaways & I was one of the winners!   I know, right?   A beautiful pearl bracelet - and I've worn it several times.

Not much tatting to share .... My sister was here for a visit (August) and we visited many vintage stores, antique malls, 2nd hand places.   The little clear box and drawers is fun for shuttles.    These 2 shuttles were spotted (and purchased) by my sister. 

 My sister is great to shop with.   She knows the good stuff from the not-so-great stuff, and has a good eye for value. 

  Isn't this cool? ($7 container)    It looks like it is made from the same plastic as some of my tatting shuttles.   

In the photo below, I made up some dish dresses for friends.   A spring cleaning sort of gift!!!  Knitting these charming dresses is a lot of fun.
