Little Princess Christening Handkerchief Bonnet - Venise Lace

Our Little Princess Keepsake Handkerchief Bonnet has a delicate and intricate 1 3/8" border of hand crocheted thread lace (lace made of linen thread) which is known as Venise Lace, also known as Guipure lace. Pearled roses adorn the lace that frames the little princess' face. A very special bonnet for your daughter's Christening or to bringing her home from the hospital. In a number of years when she marries she will snip a few stitches and carry this handkerchief as part of her bridal bouquet. What a wonderful tradition to start • hand wash and air dry • 100% cotton. Beautiful gift packaging includes this delightful poem “Venise Lace Trim, also called Point de Venise, was first created and used in Italy. Dating back to the 17th century, venise lace is a fine needlepoint lace that is stitched onto dissolvable fabric that is later removed to reveal a raised embroidered design. Venise lace can also be referred as guipure lace.” Keepsake Handkerchief Baby Bonnet This charming little keepsake holds a magic all its own, As now it is a bonnet for your baby's first trip home. Or use it for the Christening, an occasion very dear, When friends and family join together and loved ones gather near. Then keep it as a treasure, for here's the magic key, By snipping a few stitches, a hanky it will be. A hanky to be carried many years from now. As the bride walks down the aisle to pledge her wedding vows. Whether carried by your daughter or your son's new bride-to-be, It will mean much more as “something old” because it's charmed with memories. Hand made exclusively by The Christening Corner
