With snow reaching as far to the South as Alabama this seemed fitting for the weather, as well as being equally as gorgeous as the blanket of white snow that covered the ground and rooftops.

a throughly modern doily

I never have been a big fan of the old-timey doily. They just kind of add an undesired “dated” funk to things in my eyes; and don’t quite do anything for me. They are very tea-partyish, which in that case, work well for fun, frilly and pink celebrations. But, not to fret, there is always a pillow of looming inspiration that can be drawn from “our delicate laced ancestors”. With a little modernity, we can always come up with a new use for an old-time design:
