DIY Doily Crafts

I used to think doilies were so lame and old fashioned, but they're totally not!  There are so many creative uses for doilies, and I love how they look!  Since we've moved I haven't scouted out any thrift stores.  Today I'm planning on going to several, and doilies are definitely on my list.  I want to make that table runner!

    How funny...you took the thoughts right out my head! I use to also think doiles were lame and old fashion but they totally aren't {either that or we are getting older and our taste is becoming lame and old fashion...haha} Look forward to seeing pics if you do the table runner! I love how gorgeous they look on stationery...maybe I will make a few of those!
