A lady that worked with my husband called and asked if I wanted her mother's craft stuff and some fabric. I said yes and here is what I got. I hope the pictures come through.
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.

I forgot to add that the tote is full of white fabrics including some muslin. I had a friend call me Thursday to give me some of stash. She's downsizing she said. I'm still sorting through it before I can take pictures. There is a lot of fabric in it. Once again, lots of lace too!

You are going to have such a fun time finding usage for the Rick rack and trims, also great Christmas items to find ways to use. Have fun, p,ease remember to post photos of your projects :)

Oh what a treasure you have there! I have lace to use on my crazy quilt blocks. Rick Rack is always good for a Sunbonnet Sue or other block, or to sew in a seam. The strings of pearls can be couched on pillows, crazy quilt blocks, etc. That's a lot of ribbon, How about wrapping a hat box or other sturdy box with a separate top and gluing the ribbons to it, or weave them then apply. Have Fun!!!!

Lots of nice craft stuff.......Lucky You!! The lace with the houses on it.....you could put Christmas fabric or solid color fabric under it and make a table runner out of it for Christmas..(of course depending on how much you have). It just reminds me of Christmas. Just a thought!!

How wide is the house lace? Looks like stuff to use when making Christmas stockings for nursing homes. or wall hangings.

It's about 4 or 5 inches wide.

Yes, I was also thinking "curtains", maybe as the edging, or over a solid color.

Oh, you lucky girl....you have a lot of fun ahead of you!
