Ina, What a fantastic idea that is. I will remember that for the future.
I am going to lend the bride a handkerchief made in Bedfordshire/Cluny style
to carry but on loan only so that all the brides within the family can
borrow it when their turn comes. I made that in class at the beginning of
my 2nd year of lessons in 2003, it has never been out of its tissue paper
yet.

To the looong lace ladies,
I have often made garters for relatives and friends and on completion
admired my handiwork. However when I think of the fate of the garters, I
make another from bought lace. I clearly label each garter, as the
garters
are usually for non-lacemakers who wouldn't know the difference, then I
give
both garters to the bride to be. In Australia, part of the wedding
ritual
is for the bridegroom to remove the garter at the wedding breakfast and
hurl
it into the midst of the wedding guests. I don't mind the machine made
lace
garter being thrown away so long as the hand made lace is preserved for
prosperity.
Pat Milne's Torchon garter in Orange Blossom design makes up well with a
blue gimp and blue ribbon for the 'something blue' in the wedding rhyme.
