First up, a pair of charming vintage 1960's die-cut Valentine's Day Cards.

Next, a reader was trying to find a certain product to repair an antique Santa Claus Christmas Treat WIRE MESH bag---but didn't know the proper name---it's called TRIKOTINE---and Blumchen has it in just the right size---2 1/4 inches; 

What is Trikotine Hohlschlauch? A traditional Leonian wire trim that has been produced in Germany for centuries, Trikotine is made from extra-fine, plated copper wires that are knit together into a stretchy, metallic tube. 

 

A classic trimming that is made for us in the old style, this knit wire mesh has the look of a delicate netting fabric, but has the added charm of its glittery, metallic sheen.
