Country Living Magazine, February 2011 issue,  has a fun feature in their Fresh Picks section called "The New Way to Do Lace", pages 29-30.  There are plates with hand-pressed lace; there is a pendant lamp of lace; and a rug from Urban Outfitters of lace!  Two of the vendors featured are from Etsy!! An added bonus.
