Doily Do

Well, well, well... I am thinking this is so darn cute!  I am so glad that I tucked those doilies away instead of giving to Goodwill because I just could not figure out where to use them in my decor and so I thought I had grown out of them.  But seriously, I now need to drag them back out to do this gorgeous table runner idea! Cha-ching, baby. I'm  'likin 'lovin it against the darker wood.  Black doilies sure would look nice on a glass table or lighter wood.  Love this idea for Christmas too!  So versatile...

One more thought, you know those doilies that have the edging with pastel colors?  I think I've seen them in my travels with rosettes on the edge too. Now, wouldn't those be cute for Easter? Sweet!  Oh, I just had another idea... tea dyed ones for Thanksgiving accented with mini pumpkins and gourds.  The possibilities are endless!

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Farmer's Market Find

I ventured off to the farmer's market this morning.  And wouldn't you know it, I stumbled onto a booth that had hand crafted wood bowls.  Okay, so I was not looking for a bowl, but how can one pass up a cute little bowl like this for a whopping whole $4?  Brand new on top of it, seriously?  It was a must have for that price.   I thought to myself "self, you need one of these to put on your night stand so that your earrings have a safe haven to rest while you are dancing with the sugar plum fairies."  Sold, it came home with me!  I love the grains, and markings, plus the simplicity of the wood bowl.  The ladies name is Bea who makes the wood bowls.  This particular bowl that I purchased is made out of maple.  Bea had a large table of these cute wood bowls, in assorted wood varieties from all over the world at an incredible price.  Thanks Bea, it is so me!
