This lovely crocheted lace doily is from a box of vintage/antique doilies and tablecloths that I rescued when they were being thrown away. They are each so uniquely gorgeous, and I can just feel the time and care and thought that went into creating them. You can practically feel the artists’ hands still on them. I am celebrating and repurposing these vintage doilies the way I know how (and I sure hope the original makers don’t mind me rolling their handmade lace into clay!) 😊❤️This crochet patt

Do you know the history of the doily? Doilies have been used for centuries- how incredible that a decorative accent has been a staple for so long! From practical uses such as placing under hot foods to using them as "fancy napkins" at Victorian tea parties, the doily has continued to impress!
