Important Notes Before
You Order
Each of my veils is handmade, one by one, by me. That is why they are
cherished by so
many. They're worth waiting for. Most are in stock and ready to ship right away,
but at times I run out and have to sew to order. Some embroidered designs
are also made to order and take time. So ...
If you're in a rush, please contact me to see
if I can accommodate you.
All mantilla sales are final. No
exceptions. If there is a defect, let me know and I'll take care of it. But there
are no returns. Why? I need to protect my customers from head
lice! Ewwwww! I know! A horrible thought but
they're more common than any of us would like to think about. (Read
more) It has nothing to do with personal hygiene. It can happen to
anyone. BUT ... just to be on the safe side -- no returns. So please look
carefully at the measurements and ask questions so we can avoid the issue.
Thanks!

About My Veils
I grew up in the pre-Vatican II Church. The use of a head-covering at Mass was the
norm. You didn't even think twice about it. The custom was so deeply
engrained that you wouldn't dream of entering a Church without something over
your head.
On Saturday afternoons everyone went to confession. Every week. It's
just what we did. There was no Mass. Women always had at least a little chapel
veil with them tucked into their purses, but younger girls sometimes forgot and
then there was a panicked hunt for a paper tissue and bobby pins to serve as
emergency covering. Read more ... |

A Quick Look At New Designs
When I come across a new and interesting lace, my mind
races with possibilities. Sometimes these veils are made in very small
quantities only because the lace or trim is so expensive and I don't know if I'm
the only one who thinks my new design is a great idea -- or if I've lost my
mind.
Like the lace fabric at the right - three
dimensional roses!
I thought it was fabulous. What do you
think? |

New Embroidered Designs
Here is a peek at some of the new designs that feature
embroidery directly on the veils.
For a start, a few designs are available on either my
basic white or black triangle mantilla.
Each veil is made of point d'espirit lace - which is a
fine netting with tiny points - and paired with a wide rose motif lace trim.
These veils drape well and are made with the same
attention to detail as you can always expect |

Did You Know ...
In TLM circles the common thought is that
black veils are reserved for married and and older women. This notion can be
traced back to a European custom which dictated that widows should wear black
for the months and years following the demise of their husbands.
While black is now a dignified
choice for any woman, young or old, married or single, you may be surprised to
learn that in Spain and Portugal black veiling is worn even by very young girls.
Here are young girls in Seville during Holy Week.

After many requests, I have also
added a few mantillas in brown which is another lovely understated choice for
worship. |

A great alternative to circular chapel veils for quick visits to Church. Shop for Kerchief Style Veils Now |

Blues - While some women shy away from veils in colors other than black and white, I can attest that women did, in fact, wear many different colors of veil in the pre-Vatican II church. Blue is one of my favorites to honor Our Lady and to encourage us to imitate her virtues.
