Doilies on the Brain

[MeToo!]

Hi, kids. Here is what I read on wikipedia about doilies.

In the UK, "sales rocketed in the 1950s as a reaction to post-war austerity and the doily quickly became a symbol of upward social mobility." However, the UK is currently experiencing a decline, prompting a "Save our Doilies" campaign. Once "a symbol of suburban gentility" they are now perceived as outdated.

They're "outdated", are they, then. All the more reason for me to get good at making them. Hope you all will, too.

Don't worry. They'll come back. Retro is what Americans are all about now...remembering simpler times and all that. I'm sure the Brits will revive them, too. I just had a young friend ask me to make some doilies for her couch, so there you go!
