COLLECTION #82: Vintage Doilies

Beautiful tatting and crochet work, these doilies were made by ancestors long gone....(both mine and Bruce's.) I wish I could remember who made what, and how they came to be in my hands. But they are lovely little treasures that I display all the time. I love to put them under my pottery or glassware, in a cabinet or on a side table. I haven't quite gotten to the point where I put them on the back of a sofa yet, but I'm sure the day will come when this grandma will act her age, and decorate with doilies and little glass figurines.

THE WEEKEND COLLECTOR: Two Crazy Crafters

This weekend's collector blog is mother/ daughter craftswomen/ collectors Twyla (Mom) and Lindsay (daugher) of Two Crazy Crafters. These two talented ladies share a blog and a love of all things vintage. Daughter Lindsay loves collecting, and creating lovely cards, and digial layouts using vintage finds and retro scrapbook graphics and embellishments.  Mom Twyla is a master of the thrift store and flea market, and she is also a painter and crochet-er. Both take turns blogging, shopping, sharing, and creating.

I thought you would enjoy seeing just a few photos I found on their blog. I hope you stop by and read more about these talented ladies. Maybe you can even find some photos of the creative studio they have decorated, and where they work together.
