How to Wear your Doilies - Blog'fest Day 21

This wasn't going to be a post about Doilies,
let alone how to wear them! 
It was supposed to be about my latest  WiSh Op Shop treasure....
but when I came to taking photos of the
 retro, hand crocheted, over-sized Doilies/mini Tablecloths
 I'd found yesterday
I got a little creative

and this happened...


The seriously green & orange crocheted square
would be the perfect reason to wear this brooch.


The minty sage green cotton crocheted circle 
is so perfect it makes me catch my breath.


and if I could turn the clock back 30yrs 
to my care-free hippy days in Byron Bay
I'd probably wear it any chance I had!


With a raggy Tulle Brooch
or a vintage Hat Pin.


and it was all inspired by this


 a childs or dolls vintage crocheted Capelet
but how sweet would it look on the right big person!

I love crochet 
and use it in REinventions when ever possible.
