These are from my Grandmother's (Nannie's) collection and from my mother's Nan's collection. They are a little tattered and a little bit unravelled, but you can expect that for their age. I'm not sure who made them, but my mum said that her Nan crocheted but didn't knit, so she could have made them.
I have one more to share with you, but I'll save that for another day.
are they toppers for jugs of lemonade, to keep the flies out?
ReplyDeleteThey are milk jug covers for afternoon tea milk jugs (to keep the flies out)!
ReplyDeletemy neighbour(when I was very small) down the road had these - with green glass bead - I was so fascinated by the beads and the crochet as a child. These ones are just beautiful
ReplyDeleteOh Nessa, they're truly lovely!
ReplyDeleteMy Mum does beautiful crochet too :-)
Wow, they are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how you would protect them from aging.
That top one would have taken hours to thread all those beads onto it.
Thanks so uch for sharing these gorgeous treasures.
Yep! Love these little jug covers too. Have a small collection including one with a tea cup. Yours are fab!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't craft these just collect :)
They are just gorgeous! You might just have to 'borrow' one or two of them soon. I always keep my eye out for such special things like that, but I haven't been lucky enough to spot one yet.
