A Doily Obsession

Recently I have been noticing how beautiful a doily can be if used in the right way. A doily is just so feminine, and delicate, and pretty. Here are a few examples of some lovely ways to use doilies.

  2. I'm glad they inspire you! They have inspired me very much too. I'm working on a tote bag with some doilies, and also a journal with doilies and buttons.
