I saw this display of lace in a shop window in Venice, Italy. It’s my entry for this week’s photo challenge.

I love handkerchiefs. I also bought of the island of Burano some of the lace sachets that are just gorgeous! I can’t wait to go back!

Lace sachets sound like wonderful keepsakes. Burano is so lovely and I’d like to go back there too!

Wow, a lot of work has gone into those. I love the bookmarks they’re really special. Probably too delicate for me though, I’m a bit clumsy to be owning anything that can be classed as fragile or remotely delicate!

I really thought the bookmarks were pretty. And I’d buy one as a keepsake – I wouldn’t actually use it!

Even then I’d still find some way of damaging it, I’m the world’s worst! Perhaps you will treat yourself to one on your next trip there? :-)
