The Doily - not just for Granny's coffee table

I like anything that is delicate, pretty and practical so I love the doily Renaissance happening at the moment. And I have to admit to childhood memories of taking my mum's big coffee table doily and putting it on my head as a little girl and pretending it was a veil :)

Here are some lovely examples...

The latest cover of Inside Out magazine - doily inspired

I made doily bunting a few weeks ago and hung it in my office but it's fallen down on one side and I can't be bothered pinning it back up and photographing it so you'll just have to imagine but it looked pretty.

And after seeing it hanging up I decided I need to host another babyshower so that I can make doily bunting to hang around my deck and in the trees... Anyone want a babyshower??? :)

Have a very happy day,
