Doilies making a comeback (did they ever really leave?)


I spent yesterday scouring a few of my favourite goodwill stores. A perfect day you could say,  hunting for treasures of the wool, cotton and linen kind.   I came across some gorgeous doilies. I had forgotten how delicate and beautiful they could be. 

Here are some projects and various uses for them....

    I am really liking that table runner - I may have to try something like that.

    Gorgeous isnt it? I had another successful shop at a few thrift stores I had not visited before. Found many more doilies for my owlies.

    Hi Claudia - I finally made a version of this table runner. I've posted pics and a link to you on my blog.
