This ebay store is a companion to our primary store, LaceMerchant. 
We have found over the years of selling on Ebay that we were not able to offer many interesting small items because of the high cost of shipping.

In order to offer small items at a minimal cost all items offered at this LaceCollector site will be mailed as letters.  
NO TRACKING WILL BE AVAILABLE.
We cannot offer either returns or refunds.

Domestic shipping is FREE.  INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS $2 to all countries.

Our primary Ebay store, LaceMerchant, offers larger, more significant pieces, all of which will be tracked and insured.

Please visit our Ebay Store, LaceMerchant for additional lace and linens, as well as listings for 

my books on antique lace, which are excellent study guides to identify and collect vintage lace.
