I know when I pass on, the same thing will happen at this house. "What will we do with all this stuff?" "Why did mom have all this". "Let's give it away". And I hope they do find places to give it to, not just haul it to a dumpster.

Lots of fun stuff. If you find there are items you know you will never use, I have found school art departments love getting these kind of things for all their age group projects. Enjoy!

The wide fine wide lace can be used to make panties (that's what I use it for most of the time). The cotton lace makes great ruffles for little girl dresses (again that's what I do when making granddaughter dresses - little girls love ruffles). Each holiday season, our senior center dresses baby dolls for kids without Christmas (the center will give you 18 inch baby dolls to turn into gifts - blankets, cloths, diaper bags, etc.. - you can use a lot of lace on these also). Some of the narrower lace can be turned into hair bows. You can also add a lot of different lace to crazy quilts. Good luck

Years ago I bought a lot of wide lace (3 to 5 inches wide) to make angels. They were quick and easy to make with the little doll head beads. And I used a lot of ribbon of different kinds to make Christmas balls. I was a Girl Scout leader for several years and had a lot of similar items. I still have one box ( one of those big plastic containers) of items I just can't seem to let go. It gets opened maybe once a year to see if there is something in there that I need.
You are very nice to be sharing on these items.

I don't know what kind of crafts this lady did, but there sure is a lot of lace. I can use the stuffing, some of the rick rack, and binding. I gave the kid's class at church some pipe cleaners and a friend the crochet needles. I was told that I could do with the rest what I wanted. What do you do with that lacy piece that has houses on it.

Not sure about lace with houses on it but I'd probably add to a small table runner or add to lampshade or add to hem of curtains.....
I love collecting Rick racks...makes great stems for flowers OR add around quilt borders.
Very nice crafts items you received though.
