She had fabric, linen, paper ... you name it. Even had some that dressed wine glasses -- they had a slit that the foot settled right into. Never had a problem with getting her a gift ... collected doilies of all kinds all year and gave them as a gag gift at Christmas. What a hoot! Thanks for the memories and enjoy those gorgeous linen doilies.<br />Snaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16648866385164116020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-57975389747696541182016-04-26T09:08:14.357-04:002016-04-26T09:08:14.357-04:00I use little paper doilies often under my teacups ...I use little paper doilies often under my teacups because I think it makes them look more elegant.

Nice if it doesn't pool at bottom on saucer after she lays her little spoon on the side of it....only to drip on HER when she lifts her cup. The doilies seem to eliminate that possibility.<br /><br />Of course your linen ones are just for show and protection, as if you were to serve tea like that they risk getting stained. (Yikes.) And they are truly exquisite, indeed, much too nice to risk becoming stained! : - )<br /><br />Hugs. ♥<br /><br />Michele M./ Finch Resthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971943265328093734noreply@blogger.com
