Long before lace and crochet knit fabrics were all the rage on runways around the world, people were collecting doilies for practical use in and around the home. Today, doilies are not only beautiful decorative items, they're also useful for protecting furniture. Place one of these fancy lace mats under lamps, vases and even drinking glasses, and you protect your wood furniture from being damaged due to water, wear and tear, and nicks and scratches.
In addition to protecting your furniture, doilies look great when placed in strategic locations around the home. Many men and women frame antique doilies and modern collectible doilies as well. Placing beautiful lace doilies in display cases or shadowbox frames is a great way to preserve the beauty of these fine linens over time. It's also a great way to show off your collection when people come to visit your home.
Doilies make great gifts for bridal showers and for housewarming parties. If you're hosting a fancy tea party, you simply must decorate with pretty lace doilies. If you want to highlight a special lamp or centerpiece, placing doilies underneath is a great way to draw attention to it.
