Today I'm participating for the first time in Vintage Thursdays at the Colorodo Lady's blog. Be sure to pop over there to view more Vintage posts.
This crocheted doily edged with pansies was left over from an estate sale that my son helped with. He brought it home, and I claimed it! I just found it while cleaning out a drawer recently. I think it will look so cute with a vase of fresh flowers on top!
Here's another picture with a closeup of the details.
Thanks for stopping by today, and hope you have a wonderful day~

Hi Diane! How pretty your doily is. My grandmother used to crochet some like this and I certainly wish I had one.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
That doily is GORGEOUS!!! I love the little pansy edges....good job of him to bring it home to you.
It's quiet lovely...I have tons of them packed away that my mother and grandmothers used to make. My mother was always making a something of sorts.
Diane, I love the doily ... pretty ones like that are getting hard to find these days.
I like your new "Daisy Chain" header, too! You have a very nice collection.
Sincerely,
Janie
Oh how pretty! Just perfect for spring.

Brings to mind my grandma's crochet work. I remember the pansies she used to make. I didn't get them, but got a lovely rectangular doily with grapes as the edging that she made. I'll pop over and see what other vintage posts there are today.
Love your doilie...there's so much you can do with it! I really love the edging!
Beautiful crochet - and the colors are so visid!
I love this, Diane! I have couple of doilies that are similar. So pretty!
GM Diane...my Mama use to crochet and I so remember her making this pattern..She would take them after she made them...and starch them with sugar water...girl they would be so stiff you could beat someone to death with them..Happy VTT girl..hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
Hi there and happy VTT. The doily is lovely and the colors remind me of Spring :0)
Diane, I love doilies., it reminds me of all the ones my grandma, mother, and I've made over the years... This is an especially lovely one! You are blessed! ;) ~CC Catherine from "Catherine de th`e Cups". Stop by today for a Nostalgic Love Story of a couple married 67 years., and a Tea Party I took to them yesterday.
Diane, I'm so glad you got this doily out. It is too beautiful to be tucked away. I'm thinking of starting a society to save the doilies. =)
Love your pansy edged doily! Perfect for spring! Keep that out of the drawer and use her...it looks lovely on your table!
Wow! Does this bring back memories of all the doilies my grandmothers created ... thank you so much. Thank you also for the incredible tour of NYC! I love visiting the city and your photos made me want to return ~ soon!
I absolutely LOVE it, Diane.
I love all of the crocheted doilies that I have...and I do have a few!!
;-)
What a lovely treasure. I remember my mother and grandmother crocheting pretty doilies like these..and in my collection of crochet patterns, I think I have this very pattern. Happy VTT and have a lovely weekend.
Diane,
This doilie is a charmer! I just wish I had been at this estate sale and had beat your son to it!! ;-)

Those doilies used to be ironed with heavy starch so that the petals would stand up.
I have one very similar to that! Purple edging and all! Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Diane, Love your beautiful doily! My grandmother used the crochet similar ones! Brings back memories! :) ~hugs, Rhonda
Very pretty Diane! I never saw one with a colored ruffled boarder like yours.
This is so cute! I love how the edge looks like little flowers. I would have snatched that up in a minute!
Hi Diane! Thanks for joining us at VTT! The doily is so pretty - it seems to match the dishes in you heading!
It is pretty. I love pansies.
Hello Diane. That is so pretty. I have been looking for so long for doilies to buy. I think they are so lovely...or maybe because I am getting older I am appreciating their beauty more. ☺
take care,
Dawn
Aren't doilies charming? I just love them.
This one is beautiful. Thanks.
Hi, Diane! I'm glad you're joining us, that's a great doily.

Very fresh for spring! ~ Robyn
