The grace of lace

I stumbled across this idea recently. How darling! A piece of vintage lace and an old brooch together as a napkin ring. What a simple, elegant and inexpensive way of adding that finishing touch to your table setting. Bits of lace can add romance to anything. Try adding a lacy sash to the rim of an old mason jar. Fill with water and a fresh bouquet. Or dress up a special package for a special someone by tying it up with a length of vintage lace. Secure it with a clip on millinary flower or a fabulous creation of altered paper art.
