CACTUS AND LACE

I got this lace while visiting Amsterdam. I made the curtains and have been enjoying them for at least 20 years.

I think part of that enjoyment is remembering that I had the guts to buy all the lace and the tenacity to make the curtains.  Now, I would prefer staying home and taking a walk in the neighborhood, or painting the way the light comes through this Amsterdam lace.
