I use lots of doilies when decorating my home.....they are so romantic and add such a soft touch. I was able to purchase 2 boxes of them at the auction a few weeks ago. |
All the doilies were in excellent condition.....This gorgeous round doily is about 36" round. |
What a variety ..... |
There were 5 arm covers.... |
3 sofa/chair back covers..... |
And a few odds.... |
and ends! |
So much beautiful work.... |
Oh my gosh, I cannot believe the price your got all of those beautiful doilies for!... think of all the work, time and love some sweet lady put into them... I am happy you got them and gave them all a good home... I cannot ever understand how families can part with those kinds of treasures... but lucky for you they did... they are all wonderful!... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a treasure you found and at such an incredible bargain. These remind me so much of my grand-mother, she used to do a lot of these when she was alive. I only have a couple of them though.

ReplyDeleteGreat find! Love the ones with the color.

ReplyDeletewow, I admit that I am a bit jealous by your purchase! What an amazing collection for a LOW price!!! I just found some myself and got them for 50% off and thought that was a bargain but you hit the jackpot! Beautiful!
