I have so many vintage doilies and am always looking for ways to use them so when I saw this idea
in the Country Living magazine I knew I had to give it a try.
I picked some of my favorites and randomly tacked them together to create this sweet little
table runner.
Happy day bloggers!

Beautiful idea! Gonna go gather up my bounty of doilies and make one!! Thanks for sharing!
Well, isn't marvelous when the very simpliest ideas can turn out the most beautiful results?! It is so lovely - and what a wonderful tabletop display. I'm crazy over the milk glass egg cups - clever to use them as candleholders!

That is a lovely Idea, I have lots of Doilies too.
I saw that same article...and have not yet done it....but I thought it's the perfect solution to my compulsive doiley making....crocheting while watching tv at night is one of my favourite passtimes!
it looks beautiful!

Oh... I just LOVE that! I picked up a handful at an estate sale this past week-end thinking they would be gorgeous on handbags.... but alas, I am unable to take the scissors to them!!! I think I will try this instead!
Thank You for inspiring me!!!

The pineapple doily in the middle is fabulous. My mother once made a tablecloth using that pattern. The handiwork on the vintage doilies is so much nicer than anything you can find today. What a lovely idea, thank you for sharing! Karyn
Janis,
This looks beautiful. I pick these up when I'm thrifting too and have a stash that could be put to good use as a table runner. Thanks for the idea.
Jane

Janis - What a great way to use all those extra doilies! They're so beautiful all together.
Kathy
Janis,
Love this idea. I saw a blog today where she made them into flowers, like you do the pattern pieces tucking a couple different shades together. Cute too. Lisa
Love this idea - now I'm kicking myself for all the doilies I've passed up -
Actually, you can even use some that have holes or tears if you attach them.
Great idea - Thanks!
Marsha
What a great idea! So pretty!!!
