Could it be magic now? 25th August 2008

So in terms of fashion stakes and on a close inspection of Autumn/Winter Vogue 2008, lace is the new, well lace. SO much so that you and I will be wearing a LOT of Gothic inspired embroidary as winter takes hold. 'But where will I buy all my frilly and lacey offerings from?', I hear you cry.

I introduce Lace Magic. Set on Low Petergate, another one of those 'cute' touristy streets in York city centre. This one accompanies the typical walk to and from the York Minster, with ye olde shops, and ye olde-er tourists. And ye olde this shop certainly is. Stepping over the threshold is like taking an unintended magical journey back in time, when mater stayed home and made doilies, and pater and children knew what doilies were. Must be why they decided to call this 'Lace Magic'.

If you are spending time in York, Lace Magic is worthy of a quick trip, if only to fascinate at the detail of the lace work, and speculate how on earth this little shope keeps going. Staff are diligently helpful, there's nothing they don't know about lace here. And like I said the perfect place to stock up on lacey trims before either designer fave Karl Largerfeld, or high street lovely Gok Wan buy up the supplies. They have everything conceivably lace like here, from handmade Lace, something called Nottingham Lace, Bridal, Christening Robes & Accessories,
Embroidered Teddies, Embroidered Hanging Sachet, a Boudoir (no less) Gift Collection and Victorian Style Nightwear. You'll be applicaying embroidery designs before you know it.

So could it be magic now? Yes, in the case of Lace Magic it could.
