On my\u00a0 honeymoon trip to\u00a05 cities in Europe (September, 2013), I was looking for lace.\u00a0\u00a0 I did NOT find any Tatting in any of the cities I visited–Berlin, Dresden, Prague, Vienna, Budapest.<\/p>\n

In Prague, I finally found an antique store with a basement full of lace, textiles, and Czech costumes. I was in heaven! It was later pointed out to me (gently) by my new husband that we had spent 2 hours there. YIKES! I thought it was only about a half hour. Jerry scored points for patience that day.<\/p>\n

These are the pieces that I bought and brought home with me as my treasures!<\/p>\n

About 36 inches across–stunning!<\/p>\n

Not sure if this one is Knitted or Bobbin Lace–Very interesting!<\/span><\/h3>\n

My first thought was Knitted….but now I think it is Bobbin Lace<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Prague was my favorite stop (out of Berlin, Dresden, Vienna, and Budapest)–not only because it was such a cultural city but because I found this great antique store with a basement full of lace (my purchases are in the first part of this post)<\/em> and other textile treasures.\u00a0\u00a0The shop keeper generously let me photograph the heritage folk costumes.<\/p>\n

This is the lady that was selling watching over the basement treasure trove of fiber artforms in Prague. She seemed to enjoy my enthusiasm for what I was seeing and finding and kept pulling out more stuff for me to see. She was completely OK with me taking pictures of the folk costumes and was delighted when I asked her to be in this picture.<\/p>\n

This is the costume that I was VERY tempted to buy. My mother’s family was of Czech heritage…so I spent summers going to Czech festivals. I always wanted, but didn’t get, a Czech folk costume. This costume above was the most beautiful and complete in the shop. It featured hand-embroidery on every component. It even had bobbin lace on the bottom of the skirt. This may be a continuing regret that I didn’t purchase it. The cost for this complete outfit: $200.<\/p>\n
