Grandma's Doilies never looked so stylish

Doilies.
Made of paper or Lace, are my current [or at least are this weeks] favourite inspiration.
I love that the obvious white goes with anything, and you could even dye them to match your theme. They bring a splash of elegance and whimsy to the occasion, be it lining the tray of a breakfast in bed, or adorning wedding table table tops, supporting floral arrangements. [plus, your Gran probably has a great stash of them in a cupboard somewhere to save you some bucks.]
So enjoy a little bit of doily inspired goodness below!
