I don't have them out right now, haven't got settled from the move yet. Usually I have one on the top of my dresser, and one a shelf with my Bible. Right now I have them stored in my Mothers Hope chest, so yes I remember those too. I love them, my husband says I'm foo-fooing the house. (Joking) Yes I have several.

My aunt did a lot of tatting & crocheting, & what a wonderful time she had, giving away her doilies & tableclothes. I can still remember how my mom starched all of the doilies. She let me iron some of the doilies & how much fun I had doing that. You're right, the old, beautiful handmade items aren't appreciated like they used to be.

I have many from my Grandmother, actually I am the only one in the family that does. There is one that is probably 1 1/2 feet across and I'm thinking of having it framed. It really is a work of art. This would certainly preserve it for whomever gets it when I leave this terrestrial port. Yes, I do.

My mother had them on the backs of all the overstuffed chairs and the couch. She said they were there to protect the furniture fabric from out greasy head (we all used quantum quantities of Brylcreme at the time). By the end of an evening of TV watching and squirming, those nice and white and starched doilies were all wadded up behind our back or between the chair cushion and the chair back. I can still see my mother boiling starch on the stove and ironing those things. Hadn't thought of that in years. I remember those things.
