My Mum's Lacework

We've had an extremely lazy day today. I can't remember the last time that we did so little.
One job I did start and finish was to write all of our Christmas cards. While I was looking for some stamps (I have to search for everything since we moved) I came across an envelope on which was written, in my Mum's handwriting, "Two lace collars, two lace hankies". I really can't ever remember seeing that envelope before so I looked inside and there indeed were two lace collars and two lace hankies. My Mum learned how to make bobbin lace after she retired, and these were some pieces she had crafted.
This is VERY close up, so you can tell how intricate it is. She made some beautiful items.
