Vintage Hair Net with Whisper Soft Velvet Butterlys

It truely amazes me when find something from the past, delicate as a butterflys wings, but it has made it through the years forgotten in a hat box,
how many years did this beautiful old netting hair cover lay in that hat box? I actually thought it was a old piece of netting that fell off a hat,
when I gently laid it out my heart almost stopped, like a time capsule,
perfect not a flaw, tiny velveteen bows stitched into the netting,
I love Vintage ~~
