DIY Vintage Doily Art

I have had such a wonderful week with my F-I-L,  family and friends. I have also made some of my own DIY Vintage Doily Art. That is what Summertime is all about, right?

Summertime also reminds me of great times with my grandparents.  When I was a young child, my grandma would sit on her sofa watching TV and crocheting.  It could have been a gift, table cloth, doily, or a bed skirt.  There were many times I would place my head on her lap while she was crocheting. What a sweet childhood memory.

Happy Tuesday everyone!!  isn’t it a beautiful day?  I am just smiling today because I made a DIY Silver Shell Candle Holder.  It was so easy and looks fresh and Summery.

I am also smiling because my 89 year old FIL is here for a few days.  He really is amazing.  He still drives, makes his own meals, and travels (a little).  We have always enjoyed each other.  He is my companion for the next day or so while Hubby is working.

ANYWAY, I need to tell you about my DIY Silver Shell Candle Holder.  I was sitting out at the pool browsing through my Pottery Barn Summer catalog. And, I saw a gorgeous silver shell.

Since I am in the process of making over our balcony, these DIY Silver Shell Candle Holders would be just the touch I need.
