.....Doily Obsession

Ok.....So after the last post, I've found another million doily projects I want to try out....

Want to see?

Doily Lanterns

Doily Globes

Doily Envelopes

Doily Wreath


Looks like I need to buy a truck load of doilys hey!!

Doily Garland

Yay, a little project that i'm going to try out on the weekend.... (thanks to Martha Stewart...shhhhhh). Care to join me?

1. Go out for a delicious brunch, and on your way home stop by some $2 shops (intouch imports on Smith St is a personal favorite of mine!) and secure yourself a lovely big bunch of round doily's. If you'd prefer to do all of your shopping in the comfort of your warm home, these gorgeous hand dyed pretties are available from PrettieParties here.


2. Fold the doilys in half, then in half again. Then scrunch a little in the centre to make them look like little ruffled flowers.

3. Thread flowers through yarn, and into a wreath or onto wire.


And this is what it might look like if you make a chandelier for a wedding reception with it...

Bless You!

These are darn cute, dont you think?

As I warned in a previous post, ive gone a little wedding crazy, cause my one and only sis is getting hitched next May.....and I plan on using this excuse for any future wedding or love related blogging activity...done.

How adorable are these custom printed vintage hankies as wedding favors! and you can even get a sweet little paper band printed up for them.....So very sweet!

You can purchase from BenignObjects etsy store here

Yay...My Sister's Getting Married!

and i'm soooooo excited! I'm not a massive 'oh my god wedding' type of girl, I didnt want a whole lotta fuss over mine a couple of years ago, and was happy to just let the day play itself out however it was destined to be....which turned out to be utterly lovely! But.....in the last 2 years since, I have come across a bounty of bits and pieces that I wish I had known/could have afforded at my own day of wed, and now I get to pull all of these out to help my big sis plan and stew over her own! I'll apologise in advance for any 'runs' of wedding related material that I may be posting within the next 12 mths, the excitment has made me a little crazy :)
