I have some lace that was my great-great-grandmothers! Like I said, my Nana saved things. :D I don't have any of the very fine antique lace, but I look at pictures and drool sometimes...during research I've found lots of examples while looking for other things. There is a huge difference in the lace when it started being machine made! Hand tatting is amazing to me, and crocheted lace...! So many people are artists in their own right.
