What do you like to collect? I love vintage laces and linens. When I think of the hours of delicate work that was put into them, I'm in awe. Such skill! These are treasures I know I'd never have the patience to learn how to do. I can crochet, but this delicate work seems to have been done by tiny fairy fingers, don't you think?
