Some old-fashioned objects can still be used today.
They are definitely little works of art.
In any Victorian photo, one can spot doilies, usually hung on the back of a comfy parlor chair.
Many people in modern society think doilies are duds and wouldn't use them in their homes for all the tea in China.
Not around here. I love doilies. When seeing how intricate and pretty their patterns are, I cannot help but think of how much time and work went into making them.
At the church yard sale mentioned a couple times recently in this blog, I found four truly beautiful doilies.
They were thumb tacked to a wall. A little sign nearby noted, "Doilies. 25 cents each."
I bought four of them but regret not buying all!
DO YOU LIKE DOILIES? WHY OR WHY NOT?

Susan, as I'm writing this, my coffee is sitting on a pink doily that looks just like the first one you have shown here. My grandmother made it, and it's one of the only things I have of hers. Wow, I can't believe these doilies were only 25 cents each. If you look at all the precious detail in a doily, it's worth more than we can imagine. The pink one you got is so pretty and dainty. So glad to know another doily lover. : )

I do like dollies Susan - it makes me remember my grandmother. They worked so hard of them and it is sad that they are a lost art. sandie
I knew a woman who could whip one of these out in a day. I love doilies, too.
I have a few of them from a long time ago. Maybe they were made by Grandma but can't remember. They are so pretty. Love doilies.
I have a few in the bedroom I 'm fond of them but they are dust catchers.
