They were hiding in a plastic bag at the Lutheran Bargain Centre and when I spied the girl with her cart I just about did back flips. This might sound weird but when I pulled them all out the starchy, clean smell took me straight back to afternoon teas with Nanna.
I've been building up a stash of crocheted and embroidered doilies for ages and I'm excited about using them in some new projects. I love sewing with vintage pieces, the perfect tiny stitches and the little blemishes, all these wonderful references to the past that are honoured when they're incorporated into a new garment and worn and appreciated by a new generation.
I've had a lovely evening scouring the interwebs looking for inspiration - how gorgeous are these?

Ahh happiness is a headful of ideas and a cupboard full of doilies.
