Time to bring out the flower doilies that my Grandmother made. I am so blessed to have these. Each one is so unique.
This Daffodil doilie is perfect for March. My first opened up today!
Thanks again Suzanne for giving us this great outlet for sharing the vintage things in our lives at

What priceless treasures. Just think of the time she invested in each of these works of "heart."
Wow. Those are so pretty. I'm so impressed with the ladies who made those.
So so pretty....I have one with pansies like this, but not that my grandmother made...how lucky you are! There is a cleaner I got from the web, called "Retro Clean" that says it can safely remove yellow or brown stains from vintage fabrics...if you google "Retro Clean" you can go th their site and purchase some....I have heard glowing reports...I have yet to use mine, I know you have to put them in a tub or big bowl with some water and the powder and put them in the sun...after you have washed them....it is worth a try for such lovely memories!
Oh how I love the lovely crocheted doilies you shared. I have some from my grandmother too. She had some that were starched so much that they stood up like waves around her treasures. Do you remember those?
Thanks for sharing your pretty treasures that mean so much to you.
Hugs, Jeanne
I have way too many linens and doilies, but love them. I have them all over my house. Suzanne can tell you how to get the stain out of them.
Try soaking the doily in Biz, which is a powder that comes in a box in the laundry detergent aisle. I've used it to remove yellow stains from a vintage table cloth. I just followed the directions on the box.
My grandmother used to make a lot of these flower trimmed doilies. You're so lucky to have them. I have had amazing success getting spots out just by hanging the item in the sun all day.
Hello Sweetiue,,,whatsya workin on lately... I just had to stop by .. Sorry i'm soooo slwo to hop over... It was more like a slow walk...
LOVE the doily's...Such fond memories of my crochet days in the 70's... AND of my Grmas fine crochet work and was it called tatting???????? Never got to meet her but she sure left some beautiful doily's behind...
Anyhoo's .. Hope all is well with you and don't be a stranger OK...

These are really pretty!! My daughter would LOVE that daffodil one! Her favorite flower! ( I cherish the things my grandma made too. )
Deb, these are so pretty. Your glass bird really sets off the last one. Perfect doilies to remember grandma!!

These are really pretty......hope you can remove the stains.....sometimes if you put white vinegar on them and let them sit out in the sun it will lift them....just be careful not to get it on the colored flowers....
MIssed you on Thursday. Very nice thingies. Some wonderful photos.
