I am rather enamored with this vintage rick-rack trim that my mother in-law gave me.
Several years ago, she gifted a trove of vintage patterns, craft fabric, trim, ribbon and other notions.
I feel like doing something with them, but what?
It is not as though I am at a loss for activities but these are so fun I want to use them.
I don't want to trim pillows and there is not enough to trim drapes.
I thought about a lampshade.
Putting it out there for you folks, who are so creative...
Any ideas?

I like your lampshade idea. The blue and white I can see edging plain white pillowcases for your bed.
It would be fun to see images of the rest of your collection of trims, etc.

That rick-rack is the nicest I've ever seen. Rick-rack has a definite a vintage vocabulary so I think you need to be careful how it's used. Maybe to edge a linen apron.
Really pretty rick rack. Love the blue color and the pattern. It reminds me of something tribal. How about using it to trim a tote bag with a fabric to complement it or to trim out a guest hand towel or tea towel?
I'm sure you will find some way to use it as you are so creative! I hope you will do a post on how you decide to use it.
Best,
Kris
Edge a table runner, the bottom edge of a chair or along a powder room valance?
