I am linking this post up to TRANSFORMATION THURSDAY over at The Shabby Chic Cottage
and to a great new blog party, PEARLS AND LACE THURSDAY.
Doni over at Faith,Grace and Crafts started a new party that features pearls and lace so get the word out , take your pics of all your beautiful lace and pearls and please join her!!
Below are several battenburg lace pillows that I bought at a yard sale.
I wanted to DABBLE a bit and pretty them up so..........
I added some trim, pink ribbon flowers and tiny rose appliques......
Pink venice lace appliques and a cameo in the center.
I think they look a bit nicer this way, don't you?? See where I put them in this week's Pink Saturday Post about my Guest room!Next are a few pics of some of the vintage doilies I collect. These were made by one of my friend's mother. My friend is not into all the frilly stuff like I am so she gave them to me! Yippee!!
This one above is one of my favorites!
Isn't the one above so dainty looking???Sorry I didn't make these pics a bit more fancy but I just came home after working all night and I am on my way to bed so this was sort of quick!

Beautiful pillows and doilies! I have only tried thread crochet a few times in my life; I prefer doing crochet with yarn---it's SO much easier!
I envy people with the patience and skill to make beautiful thread crochet doilies like that!
