A little lace this summer....

One whole warm month of summer left in Michigan! Create a light and breezy look for your wardrobe and home with a touch of lace. We are bringing together wearable ideas and projects to refashion, DIY and just find and buy.

DIY
 Wrap lace around jars and add a tealight candle. Empty mayo and jelly jars would work perfect!

Embrodiery hoop mobile...use different size hoops and lace scraps.

Find a straw hat, paint it white and add lace around the brim.  When not wearing it with a pretty sundress, leave it on display on your dresser.
