Doily chargers or placemats

I am so often asked if my 12 inch doilies would work for a place mat or charger for wedding tables. And they do! Such a pretty, lacy edge around a 10 inch plate. They would be great as a whimsical addition to a Summer party, graduation party, or Mother's day tea!


So, I thought I would set up a simple table settings with new china and my Grandmother's antique china for comparison. All of these pieces are standard size- plates are 10 inches. The silverware is antique, so not the large restaurant size flatware.

Pick's this weekend- Mother's Day Special

I found some winner's this weekend and two are perfect for Mother's Day. Why bring fresh flowers when she can have these floral coasters or fused glass platter and enjoy them year round. They are available in my Etsy shop (click here for the shop) and if purchased this weekend, you should have them by Thursday!

Needlepoint coasters perfect for mom. They say, "see I can keep a table clean and free of water marks!"

Lovely vintage fused glass 11 and 1/2 inch platter. Perfect for cupcakes, sandwiches, or as a fruit bowl.

New items in the shop. Great ideas for Mother's Day!

With the sale of some great items, it was time to re-arrange, add, and spruce-up! I've been adding tea cups and saucers, sweet little porcelain bowls, and leaded crystal bowls. More items arriving daily!

Great items for Mother's day!
