A doily to cheer any tea lover!

The other day I received this delightful 10-inch doily in the mail from Margie in California. Isn't it pretty? The story of how she got it made me love it even more!

Margie writes, "I was shopping in my favorite antique mall and came across this - no price tag so the owner just gave it to me. You like 'blue' so I thought you might like it." Actually, I love it! The embroidery is gorgeous!

This scalloped edge must have taken forever to stitch. Such meticulous handwork.

And even the back of the piece looks immaculate. I love the sweet gift from Margie, and my inner bargain-ista is so impressed to know she got such a darling piece for free!
