LaceCrochetFinds – New Etsy Shop

So, we reopened our second store. We made this decision because we saw that our delicate lace collars (the product that started our store in the first place) are completely invisible next to the brightly coloured garlands. Now we have a huge marketing job waiting for us to make our store visible to you. First I would like to introduce to you our first items, which were mostly purchased in the past.

Koniaków Lace

Visiting the Polish mountains for the first time, I came to the village of Koniaków in Beskid Śląski mountain range in Silesian, southern Poland. The village is primarily known for its tradition of intricate lace-making, which is more than 150 years old. Koniaków laces are handmade by crocheting cotton thread, using motifs inspired by nature. Lace motifs are worked separately, then connected to form larger pieces. The lace additions began appearing in pillows, shirts, blouses, and tablecloths around 1900 and is still exists today. I visited the Museum of Koniaków Lace then and bought this increadible serviette, because I’m an addicted crocheter interested in various lace crocheting techniques. I think, this serviette will be the best decoration in my house this Christmas.

Review

Only the person, who sells online, can understand, how happy I feel, when I get a review on my handmade crochet bookmarks from the USA. This is because nowadays you can’t send your orders from my country overseas with full tracking, just by registered mail, and you have no control over it. Thank you, Karen, for such a nice words :)))

Christmas in July

Recently, I often have had to cancel orders in our shop due to the coronavirus. For example, last week I couldn’t send my collar to Malaysia, because it isn’t possible to send the item to this country by plane, only by ship and it takes about 8 weeks to reach the customer.  On the other side, one customer from Australia surprised me, because she agreed to wait 8 weeks for the Daisy garland to reach her (and I’m really keeping my fingers crossed for this delivery). Fortunately, planes started flying to the USA from Poland and we are able to send orders this destination anyway. Certainly, we are realizing that the delivery will get longer so we starting to put Christmas items in our shops now, in July. There are 2 new items connected to Christmas – crocheted Christmas Stars and Bunting made from them. They are lovely and put us in a festive mood.

There will be more garlands from such king of stars in different colours, but right now I have only yellow ones.
