Oh, Doily!

When we think of doilies, it usually conjures up memories of your grandmother’s house with doily mats under every inanimate object. Vase, check. Plate, check. T.V., check. It also serves as inspiration for the 70′s crochet hippy era and suffice to say, it’s making a comeback. No longer is it thought of as slightly old-fashioned but it’s been given a new lease of life. Use it as a placemat or for your cupcakes to create a girly touch or DIY wedding invitation envelopes to up the romance factor. Whatever it is that you use the doily for, you’ll be sure you’ve at least got your nan’s seal of approval.
