Early 20th Century “My Baby” Lace raw edge bowl Wonderful blue thread stitching aJust in time for Valentines Day! So much fun to find this in Vermont this week, with two pieces of fine quality lace spelling out My Baby, housed in their original box. The printing on the box indicate that a shopkeeper would have sold the pieces of lace individually (at 10 cents and then later 15 cents it appears) , with specific instructions for how to display them: leave them in this box. Always keep the blue backing under the greeting on the top
