A Peak into my case...







I really enjoy fixing up my case at Hwy 41 Antique Emporium. ( I think I actually enjoy the fixing up and creating a look more than actually selling! but that's another story .....) In this case I place my crochet purses I create with recycled yarn and vintage jewelry pieces ..I also have there other small treasures I may find in Estate Sales and garage sales...I will soon be going to nearby auction houses which I have been hearing are really great in our area..and I am looking forward to holding up my number and bidding over pieces ( I hope its not like gambling and I get carried away...bidding..I can get very competitive... oh dear..I can just see my car full ) anyways... I am looking forward to this, and am bringing a very seasoned friend which has gone to auctions for many years.and I am sure she will be able to hold me back should I get carried away with it all!!!!.I will be sure to post pictures with all my finds....So until then here is a Peak into my case.... have a great day!

Chloe and Lace Blog

A newborn...A baby blog...just starting out its new life
.. created for the New Year.!
Introducing "Chloe and Lace " ! The namesake is my beautiful mannequin Chloe..she sits in my bedroom always covered with lace and jewels and pearls!


Chloe and Lace is my business name..I like to create vintage style crochet handbags..and Jewelry and all my things I like to make with re purposed items! each piece I make takes time..so I hunt..( and you all know about the joy of the Hunt?!!)
to find "just" the right piece of old vintage fabric or old beads and trinkets...and then the creating begins..! I have so much fun with each piece.I started making them only for myself and family and friends...then their friends started asking they wanted pieces, and pretty soon I was selling ! I would like to show my pieces as I finish them here..also share my finds..so this new blog will slowly evolve..into what it needs to grow up to be...with my nurturing and my patience (and yours) I hope you stop by and visit and share my journey here!
