Good afternoon, ya'll. If you are wondering how I am doing with my addiction to doilies, well not too good!!😁😃🙄 I added 7 more doilies to my collection yesterday. I was in doily heaven ,but in my defense they were just 75 ¢. I will show you those in future posts. For my NOT SO WORDLESS WEDNESDAY POST, here a just a few doilies lingering in the kitchen along with a bit of country clutter. We won't talk about the other country clutter addictions? Lol.
Oh, you might see a dust bunny or two, but that is real life, just shoo them away . 🤗

Creative clutter is better than idle neatness.
Hugs and Stitches!!!!🤗🧵❤
Dedicated to my baby sister , Amy who often fed my doily addiction. Love and miss you, Amo.
I so understand. I have an addiction to vintage crochet doilies too. I also collect red and white vintage crochet potholders. I do use my doilies in my decorating though.
ReplyDeleteAren't they just treasures to collect? I wish I had the ability to crochet doilies, but alas I do not. I have a few crochet potholders. I bet your red and white potholders are adorable especially viewed as a collection. Hope you find some more to add to your collection soon, Joy. Thank you for the sweet visit.
DeletePretty doilies and everything else. I never get tired of looking at your collections.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Astrid. I have been collecting for decades. A lot of the pieces are from my grandparents which I treasure. Have a very lovely week.
DeleteDoilies are so beautiful. I wish they weren't out of style, but I can't crochet any longer to make my own. As long as I'm wishing, I wish I had all the ones Mamo made in my growing up years, including the purple cover bottle cap grape hot pot holders. Yours are definitely a nice collection, exactly as I'd expect!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Susan . They are fun to search for at the thrift stores. I wish you had your Mamo's too, for I know you would treasure and love them. Have a great week my dear.
DeleteI had to chuckle when I read your comment about shooing the dust bunnies away ~ too funny! I always say " the dust adds texture to my display."
ReplyDeleteLol I will have to remember that and tell my hubby when he says anything about dust. Dusting is a never ending chore . Isn't it? My displays wouldn't be complete without a dust bunny or two. Lol. Have a great week, Chris.
DeleteI absolutely love your posts! They always make me smile 😃. Your doilies and country decor are amazing!! Have a great day, and happy quilting!
ReplyDeleteAaah you are the sweetest and thank you so much for bringing a warm smile to my day. I was over the moon to find a few more doilies to add to my collection (I need them like I need a hole in the head, Lol, but I do love them. ) Have a very lovely week and thank you for the sweet visit.
DeleteOh Melisa, your doilies look super. I love how you use them throughout your displays.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much , Robin. I was over the moon to find a few more to add to my collection. I do wish I had the ability to make some for myself. Maybe one day I will learn .Hugs.
DeleteIls sont jolis tous ces napperons et ta déco j'aime beaucoup !
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Monique. You are always so kind and supportive. I was so happy to find a few doilies. I will be using them throughout the year in various displays. Hugs.
DeleteThese vintage rugs are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteKisses
Oh thank you so much , Isabel . I am always fascinated by the designs and beauty of little doilies. I will certainly treasure these. Hugs.
DeletePretty doiies, each and every one! Must admit when I first read your post, I thought you had written doll(ies) but couldnt find a single doll.
ReplyDeleteAah thank you, Jenny. Lol. I will have to do a post on my dollies someday. I collect handmade dolls as well. My grandmother was a doll maker so I am fortunate to have many of hers. Have a super week. Hugs.
DeleteYour doilies are beautiful, it makes me think about the beautiful ones my grandma used to have everywhere in her house, she was wonderful at crochet, embroidery and sewing.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Oh thank you so much, Diana. It would be such a treasure if you had any of your dear grandma's doilies. I think that is why I like doilies so much myself for they remind me of my grandmothers. Hugs.
DeleteI love seeing all your country treasures!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Brenda. I have been collecting for many years and most of my treasures have been handed down. I do cherish the fond memories that they bring back. Hugs and blessings.
DeleteSo much goodness in this post! The Pepe & Salt shakers were so cute! I love the butter dish and completely agree! Everything IS better with butter! The doilies are so special. I have a few from my grandma and my gr'aunt. I can do that kind of work but it just isn't the same. Thank you for sharing, Melisa.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Ginny. My mom bought me the salt and pepper shakers years ago. I have always had an affection for Bugs Bunny and the whole crew Including Pepe. Lol. I pulled out the butter dish the other day; it has been in the cupboard and the flowers made me think of Spring and yes I agree everything is better with butter. Lol. How wonderful that you have some of your grandma's and great aunt's doilies. I bet they bring back fond memories. I hope you have them out so you can enjoy them. Hugs and blessings
DeleteI always enjoy seeing your darling displays, Melisa! The doilies are such fun. I have some, but only in white and ecru, that I use on my corner cupboard display, too :) Your colorful ones are so pretty! Have a great day ♥
ReplyDeleteI think white and ecru doilies are some of my favorites, Carol and they always look lovely in cupboard displays. I do wish I had the talent to crochet my own, but for now I am happy searching for them. Thank you for the sweet visit.
DeleteI love all your decorating, Melisa!!! I'm so impressed with how you change things out for all the seasons and holidays!!!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Nancy. I think I have always been a seasonal / holiday decorator as well as stitcher. I like to change things up every month or so . Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteSuch coziness! I too love doilies and I make some but out of thicker cotton yarn and I have a few old crocheted potholders and doilies. Your decorations are precious! A feast for the eyes. I love your clothespins wrapped in some homespun. I have lots of old clothespins that I still use but I think I'll use a few to wrap them like yours...so cute! TYFS!
ReplyDeleteAah you are so sweet. Thank you so much for such a kind compliment. My granny used to have some of the doilies made with the thicker cotton yarn. I have one right now on a small stool . I bet your are gorgeous and I admire that you have the skill to create your own. I am so honored that you are going to make wrap a few old clothespins in homespun and enjoy them on display for yourself. It is a cute, simple and quick craft that looks lovely in country decor. Have a beautiful week, my friend.
