How interesting!
When my daughter was married in 1994 (before I began making bobbin
lace), her future mother-in-law gave me a gift at her bridal shower...
it was a lace handkerchief, and in her handwritten note, she said,
..."to catch the tears of joy..." I had no idea that it was an old
tradition!
