After spending many hours browsing through the internet, blogs, etsy stores I have found my new obsession! Paper Doilies!
Recently I have been wrapping my gifts with brown paper and decorating them with doilies. I love the contrast between the rough, down-to-earth-ness of the paper and the delicate lacy-ness of the paper doilies. Even if you can only find a couple of different types of doilies, with some scissors and glue you can make every present look different. All they need to finish them off is a bit of string or pretty ribbon.
One of my favorites so far has been the red, white and brown theme, which features a completely awesome red felt coaster as a packaging embellishment. After a while admiration turns to obsession and I find myself thinking "Can I perhaps spend all day finding doilies and sewing them into every thing I own? Umm, no! :)

Above are just a few of my favorite looks xx
The delicate, lace-like look of the doilies gives it a classic appeal and makes a wonderful striking impression. Take a look at the gorgeous doilie inspired handmade cards by 'my little jedi' x
