Week #4 Giveaway oh Giveaway! Doilies!

I have handpicked a selection of doilies from my collection for the giveaway. To enter, all you need to do is share the doily love and post a unique link to an inspiring crafty link which uses doilies. You can do like I did and search etsy.com believe me, I only scratched the surface! Or make google your friend. Perhaps you have a favourite already saved? If you have something of your own to share you can add an extra comment for an extra entry.

There will be at least 10 doilies in the pack in a variety of shapes and sizes, including crochet and embroidered linen.



Don't you love it when a new Op-shop opens nearby? Lots of stock and not much competition :) I found the motherlode of doilies  less than 1km from my home! So I know I can replace these without any problem.

ETA thanks everyone for some fantastic links. Here's the one to the headband that was mentioned.

    I have always loved doilies. My grandmother used to make them all the time, but I never learned the art!

    Thanks for the chance to win these lovelies.
