This was angora so soft, I think made from rabbit.
This was a Battenburg Lace Collar

Collars for Sweaters
This was made by mother for me to wear with a dress or sweater. I guess it was the last thing she ever crocheted for me. Just look at that sweet button. It has been put up with things remembered about my mother, I don't think I ever wore it, they were out of style when she made this and I didn't do sweater then. Some time in the late 70's.
I had some of these. Had forgotten all about them..my girls would roll their eyes at me if I tried to get them to wear one, lol.
ReplyDeleteHi Patsy, your's mom hand work is so pretty. I notice in all the portraits of my grandmothers, aunts etc., how popular these lace or crocheted collars were. Thank you for sharing such a treasure with us today.
ReplyDeletePatsy, they are just precious!
ReplyDeleteI had one of the Battenburg Lace ones and wore it all the time. I remember taking two home to England, and everyone asking me to send them one when I returned to the USA.
What beautiful memories.
Beautiful Patsy! I remember them. I even wore them. How about the dickies?
ReplyDeleteI had some of those too. I had forgotten all about them. They will come back in style, everything does.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful treasures and memories.
Lovely, just lovely. I remember the battenburg lace collars especially. And the little sailor collars. Thanks for a nice memory.
ReplyDeleteI have a picture of my Mom. sitting on the front porch in a black dress... with a beautiful organdy "collar" It's my favorite picture of her. These were so popular then. I also remember wearing hats and gloves and going downtown to eat at the YWCA cafeteria.Thanks for bringing back those memories of a simpler time.
