Decorate With Doilies!
Decorating ideas using doilies have evolved from the days of merely covering a table top and the back or the arms of a chair. As an example of the versatility in decorating with doilies, visit Country Living to see how they used a doily to surround this glass vase.
Whether you're an avid crocheter, thrift shopper or simply love to shop at Amazon, get yourself some vintage doilies, new doilies, second or third hand doilies and make one or two of these projects. I hope to inspire you with these decorating ideas using doilies.

- I'm not the frilly type, but my friend Lillian who lived to be 101 made me several beautiful doilies. I like having them around to remind me of her friendship, and I keep them under glass so my cats don't get any ideas! (That would explain why I'm not the frilly type.)

- Great lens! I have a box of doilies that my grandmother and aunt made and I didn't know what to do with them or how to display them. They're so beautiful. Thanks.
