I picked out the doilies that were stained .
I cut them .
I framed them .
I added a little zing with some vintage buttons
bought from The Button Bower ,
no relation to me I promise .
I will eventually have these displayed in The Craftroom .
It's nice to give some old doilies new life .
Pretty ?
Love it Clare - great way to give vintage supplies new life!!

Brilliant! I was given a whole lot of doilies from my SIL when her mother moved into the nursing home. I've been making some sewing caddies with them, but I love this idea - it will pretty up my sewing room. Where did you get the frames too please - they really add to whole look?
ReplyDeleteClare,
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I'm always looking for things to make with vintage linens that aren't exactly perfect...and old buttons. Thanks for sharing this idea.
Happy Valentine's Day!
