winter doilies

one of the most creative ideas i've seen this holiday season. i would do this but they'd melt in less than 30 seconds.

similar but different

these look similar to the smock necklaces below but they are much more doily-esque. now you know my penchant for doilies ...i do like these wonderful little crafty treasures. from muntedkowhai via the constant gatherer.

guilty pleasure

i like doilies. i've always liked doilies. and i will not apologize. no, i'm not 90 years old. i don't know why i like them, i just do. i have bags of them in storage and some on my shelf. i found a few uses for doilies that i thought were clever. here is a doily-like lace bracelet by Grandma Was A Floozy...

or how about this cute diy project to make doily bowls out of those doilies you've always wanted to do something with (design sponge). i actually have a couple of these that i bought at thrift stores.

and my favorite, doily lampshades. aren't they adorable? (craftzine)
