Doily Love












my doily curtain, they're only pinned on, I haven't got round to sewing them yet, but they look so pretty when the morning sun comes shining through.

Sorry about the dark pictures, but it's a very grey day today in essex.

Have a happy weekend whatever you're up to.

I'm going to start it at about 4 o'clock, over at my neighbour's house. The children will play and have dinner and we will have wine and crisps!

  1. What a lovely idea I love the idea of recycling them to make something new I can imagine it looks so pretty when the sun shines through.

  4. The curtain looks beautiful. I wish we lived in a house that would suit such a window treatment. Really great idea.

  9. I love those doiley cutains but does the weight of them distort the net? They really are so pretty.

  14. Ooh, that doily curtain is rather lovely! What a good idea. I have a great stash of them waiting to be used or adapted.

  15. This blog = pretty, VERY pretty.
    I popped over from Pozie gets Cosy, and I have so enjoyed my visit here.I left a comment on this post (although they all are beautiful) because I think the design of the doilies shows up so well with the light coming through from the outside. Being that the whole thing is white on white makes the design even stronger. Pretty, VERY pretty. Carolina

Thank you so much for making the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate every one (even if I don't manage to reply to them all - I tend to get sidetracked quite easily) and it always brings a little smile to my face when I discover one in my inbox.
