Yesterday Linda and I had a very pleasant day out.
In the morning we went to a regional quilters' gathering in Rotorua followed by lunch and a browse in some shops in the downtown area.
One of the shops just happened to be an op shop (thrift store) where I spied these lovely little doilies featuring crinoline ladies.
Not that we really need to add to our doily collection but these were far too nice to leave behind. The ribbon bows have been done in the tiniest satin stitch and the crocheted border is in pristine condition.
Just a little thing in life but something just a bit special to have at our place.

What a special find, and perfect that they have gone to a home where they will be appreciated.
I never tire of the crinoline ladies very nice
They would've come home with me , too. I love to rescue needlework treasures whenever I can.
I adore old linen and lace and needlework. Lovely find ladies !
Oh, lovely indeed! These would be great as a feature in the middle of a wall hanging.
