Wonder why you didn't receive any comments last time - I'm pretty sure I left one, but the ether must have swallowed it (again).

I know she never went to dances and probably precious few parties, so it most likely was used for church.

The ...Love, love, love the filet crochet bag/purse. The diagonal design is very interesting. I love making little bags like this too. They are rather special, and I'm so pleased that you appreciate your heirloom from your grandmother. This style of bag was mainly a Sunday church bag to hold bible, hankies, and little necessities for the day, as well as on other special occasions and outings.
