I am looking for old doilies..they do not have to be perfect, they can have a stain or two on them or even a little tear..just as long as parts of the doilies can be used/salvaged.
I'd like to start creating some recycled type crafts but using a vintage/shabby chic type look to them..but..I lack supplies.
So..if any of you have some you were going to toss out..I'd be willing to barter or something for them.
Thanks in advance!

Oh, I wish I had known a couple of months ago, Tina! We had a mess of doilies donated to our consignment shop and some were imperfect . . . but I've already passed them on. I will keep you in mind, however, if more come in. Are you interested in other linens? We often have some very nice napkins but with some stain shadows on them -- could be recycled/cut up/etc. We have to be super-picky about the linens we sell and it pains me sometimes because the fabrics are so beautiful.

Oh Katie..that would be great!!..actually napkins in vintage look would work well too . Oh that would be terrific. I have several ideas floating around in my head for lovely things to re purpose them into.

I am wanting to use them to create shadow box altered art designs, as well as collage type images, and to create altered art sachets and more.So bits and pieces of them will definitely suit the purpose/ideas I have in mind.
Thanks so much gals!
