I do think it's important to be a caretaker of the past, as you are. When I find a pretty doilie, I sometimes use it to drape over the top of a lemonade pitcher in the summer, to keep the flys out! It might be pretty if you chose a piece of ribbon and strung the doilies and potholders across your windows like a valance.

Like my Granny who would sit for hours and make tatting. I have a nice length of it that she made over 40 yrs ago! My youngest daughter works with ladies who have taught her to crochet...this is the daughter that didn't appreciate the doilies at one time! Ha! I think she's getting it.<br /><br />June :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-89332510987672996362013-03-11T10:10:05.721-05:002013-03-11T10:10:05.721-05:00Your collection is lovely!

My daughter has a friend that collects old doilies to make table runners that would be a nice way to display them. I have a nice roll of tatting my Granny made over 50 years ago! She would sit for hours...that's to be appreciated! Other than trimming dresses for my granddaughters and pillow cases I could use a fresh idea for its use also. <br />We get it,<br />JuneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-28195294392243680532013-03-11T05:41:07.115-05:002013-03-11T05:41:07.115-05:00No, sadly she doesn't get it!

I know they aren't using the dishcloths I make because they all say they are too pretty to use so they just display them. :) What about hanging them so they frame a doorway. I think that would like nice.

Used to have them in a row under a line of cabinets; tried to sell them off in a couple different garage sales and no one bought a single one! Was surprised. I still use handmade doilies around my house. I think they really add to any decor!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336382489523622350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-2204800317326191582013-03-10T07:33:32.965-05:002013-03-10T07:33:32.965-05:00I think it's important to save pieces of the p...I think it's important to save pieces of the past, too.
