Brand New Vintage Lace

Would you believe me if I told you this lace was fresh off the bolt from my local craft store and not a flea market find? Isn't it wonderful!

The gal at the cutting counter said the fabric looked like vintage lace because there were already tears and stains in it. We both wondered if the fabric was made that way or if the tears and stains came later.

I didn't care because those imperfections were what drew me to this lace in the first place and I promptly bought the last remaining bit of it. I absolutely love it!
