I knew when I saw the worried look in my sister’s eyes at the thrift store that I had a problem. Perhaps once upon a time I might have had the same look for someone else before the disease struck. I mean, an armful of doilies and vintage sheets stacked up to the nose, trailing on the floor and fretting that I’d left any behind, I mean… it’s an illness, isn’t it?
I am a lover of doilies :: I am a doiliophile…. oh, the shame….

Been reading you for ages, but am an inveterate lurker… My illness is embroidered tablecloths. I could cloth a street party with the amount I have. I do have a few doilies as well. And a crocheted bedspread that’s like a massive blue doily… oh dear.

I’m addicted to pottery and books and more recently yarn. I really like these pictures. They make me want doilies of my own.

Just for the record I’d like to announce that I’m also addicted to vintage bedsheets, tableclothes, old books, cameras, china, pyrex, fabric, yarn and anything that reminds me of my nana.Carry on.

What do you with these doilies? Are you collecting them or do you get to put them to use? Very pretty to look at.

Some are dotted around the house under vases etc, and some are my grandmas for safe keeping, the rest I add to things I make 🙂

What a great find!!!!! I bet most of them are hand crochet. You can’t go wrong for doilies. I love them too. And you do use them for other things. You deserve all the doilies you can get your hands on!

I think all of them are hand crochet. I think I need to take a step back from doily buying… it’s getting ridiculous the amount I have…
