treasure embroidery

In the bag of old laces and doilies a friend brought me , there was a very old table cloth , with loads of interesting crochet lace ,,, but it is sewn on a very interesting , quite open mesh ,,,, i think i have a new part for a lamp shade or window screen like curtain ,,, but it is also very tempting to add some letters and other colored embroidery over that mesh cloth between the crochet lace parts... mirjam
