If Only the Lace Could Talk!!!!

Work in progress....The black embroidery work was on a fragile-partially gone black cape that  M.J. gave to Jody...M.J.'s mother got at it at an estate sale many years before..Jody has placed this on a piece of fabric and is going to frame in this frame..Wouldn't you love to hear the story's this lace could tell..."Perhaps it was wore by a Flapper named Mae from the early 1900's. She may have even wore it on one of her dates with the Infamous Chicago gangster Al Capone. Can't you just picture them entering a ballroom. And on that fate full night...during which a fight broke out he received a razor cut on his cheek, which gained him the nickname "Scarface." Oh, if only the lace could talk...
