this has been fun this past week posting on the 2008 trends issue from canadian house and home. and i still can't believe there's still seven more i still have to cover. next up. "granny chic". the doilies are still showing up after a long haul on the circuit and this time are being matched up with things like crochet square throws in bright vibrant candy colors, pop art portraits and dainty floral patterns. and to start off with it i spotted these esther derkx improved crockery platters & tea cups at reform school (above image).
mushroom pincushions by cathy of california at reform school.
when i think of doilies, i automatically think of lisa solomon and her doily work and this beautiful print, "a bed dreams a blue doily dream".
