they are everywhere right now! on shirts, purses, lampshades, scrapbook pages, other art mediums...the list goes on and on. and i couldn't be happier about it:) love doilies; simply love them. a year ago or so, i found this pretty piece in a thrift store for 3 or 4 dollars (which i thought was a lot!) until i saw one like it on etsy that sold for around $35, described as "art noveau"...
notice the pretty velvet trim on the glass - it appears that this lovely doily was simply placed between two round pieces of glass and glued around the edges.
i have alternately loved this and not liked it all since i bought it. but recently i feel less fickle - and i think we'll have a longterm relationship;)
more doilies from my stash
now look at these!!! aren't they just so tempting and inspiring and happy?!? these came to me all the way from the chip chop shop, a new and fun etsy shop in australia. (more on that in a minute!)
hand dyed (and just mouthwatering, aren't they?)
i'll be using these in my scrapping and other craft projects
here are some crochet trims from the same shop - i couldn't wait to get these in the mail:)
leann, the owner of this embellishment/trim etsy store, is having a giveaway on her blog! she is offering doilies and her exclusive chipboard shapes, along with a few other beautiful embellies...what a wonderful crafty giveaway:)
I love the colorful ones and how they're stored in the jar!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I've never seen anything like those. Beautiful colors. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the coolest way to preserve a doily? I would have never thought about putting it between glass, but I will now!
ReplyDeleteThe colored doilies are just too sweet. I know these will end up in some amazing projects.
hugs
I love your beautiful, bright doilies! They brightened my day right up ;)
ReplyDeleteI just love the doily between glass and those colored doilies...oh my heavens!
