Crochet Doily addiction.......

Doily addictions.

Collecting doily's seems to have turned into a little bit of an obsession......

If I look back over previous posts....... been a few

It seems the excitement of doily purchasing goes right back to the start of
my all things yarn related (collections)

Book

Needles

Hooks

Packaging (skien labels)

A little bit or a collector it would seem.

Doily's to;-)

Yes I actually use them, not maybe for there intended purpose but use is better than storage and never seen.

Traditions doily related, I will have to research this but I'm sure it goes way way, back to hand made engagement and wedding gifts etc etc

New home type thing, can not just be dust related.


I just can leave them in the charity shops, so much loving work went into making them a gift, a decoration, hand made with fantastic skill.

And a lot of time and effort went into them with the very complicated designs. That's why I just have to buy them.

One day.....One day they will make a come back and when that time happens Ill have my vintage collection ready.

But that's me,

I use them in my art, It didn't occur to me
(Always having a stock of charity shop doily's)

That during the summer months the
charity shops, stop stocking.
