Thanks for the ideas! Despite using lots of my mom’s doilys the usual ways there are quite a few left stored in a drawer.
Thank you so much for including me in your awesome roundup! I’ll share 😀 xo
Happy to include them Amy and might even have to make a few myself!

Bonjour
I realy like what you have done with the different doilies. The wedding dress is beautifull and the camisole, love it. I use paper Doily for making envelope and decorated with flowers for my granddaughters Valentin’s card. Enjoy your creativity and thank you to share it with us.
Merci
