I took a tating class once about 15 years ago. It is daunting but beautiful. I have several "antique" pieces. Some yards long. I will not tat again. I'd rather find it in old sewing cashes.

I love seeing your box opening videos like this, and the tatting was a treat! My grandmother tatted, and when I went through her sewing room and things recently, I now have a huge variety of tatting projects she never used, and some she never finished. It's beautiful, and perfect for handmade doll outfits. I also found her childhood dolls, and have begun to clean and restore them. Sadly, one of them has a shattered arm, as the plastic has deteriorated over the past 80 years, but I figure I can find a way to repair it with all the modern sculpting materials we have at hand. Worst case, I'll make a mold and cast a new one.

Such a fun session! I love the Linda surprising ones😁. Oh those handmade Christening gowns, thee desire to show your newborn in fine robes on their first public appearance was a cultural necessity in Britain right up until the 60s. Our family Christening robe was made by my great, great grandmother and worn by every child on that one occasion each including my brother and me in the 1950s. I kept it but it was so thin, when I hung it up to air after being folded away for 30 years, the long skirt just fell away, ripping all the tucks and embroidery on the bodice. Only the petticoat remains but, though nobody would see it, it too is a marvel of handmade lace, tucks and embroidery. Looking at those leg warmers,and remembering their were no rubber or plastic pants even when my parents were born in the 20s, I'm glad not to have been in my baby raising days back then! Those leg warmers, along with diaper, petticoats and gown would be soaked or soiled several times a day and require changing, then washing without the aid of a washing machine. No wonder boys wore robes or dresses until they we beyond toddler age, pot training would be hard with no elastic or zippers for pants. Dresses were often worn without underwear so the child was covered , but could be put on the pot in a hurry during training.

The little peg wooden is by Eric Horne. He is a wonderful miniaturist from the UK and was often set up at the same shows near where my booth was set up selling my miniature Bebe's. He is a charming man and makes those peg woodens even smaller with all working joints.

Could the little "bottle" cover with the embroidered B be a cover for a doll sized hot water bottle? My grandmother taught me to tat although it has been so long and with my arthritis and neuropathy, I doubt I can do a very good job. She taught me to see, make patterns, do alterations, quilt, crochet and embroider. Many wonderful hours spent with her.

so loved the tiny dolls and the old garments...I do remember some of these. My daughter had some that tied with ribbons. I have an ancient frozen Chinese doll. My father unearthed it in the 1960's while renovating our house in Innisfail. Innisfail had a strong early Chinese population. I'd like to learn more about it. I mean it could be worth Millions!!! Tee Hee NB Innisfail is a sugar growing town in tropical North Queensland, Australia.
