This piece of lace was just the perfect size to lay around the top of my lampshade. I took a beautiful ribbon rose pin that I purchased some time ago from Meadowstreet and I pinned it to the lace. I absolutely LOVE the look ! I am finding myself drawn to more creams, taupes, and browns. They have such a calming effect on me. I think I may be moving away from so much pink...did I say that? Never thought I would! ~

Simple Lampshade Embellishment ~
Things of *BEAUTY* are to be shared and enjoyed and not hidden away ~ I was thinking today how much antique lace I have just laying in piles away from the unseeing eye and I realized I MUST get some of these out to use everyday.

Sandi, I 'm glad you did this and shared it with us- so romantic, a beautiful finishing touch to the lamp. PS I found you by following the link from Sandra at Shabbyroses.
Lovely what a neat way to use Erica's roses! I have been leaning the same way with color and have been eliminating much of my pink but not all for a few months now.
THis is beautiful and such a wonderful way to use what you already have in decorating.
