I love containers; boxes, jars, bowls, cans, bags, etc. If it is designed to hold something, I love it!

The perfect gift isn’t what is in the container, as much as it is the container itself.

I recently made a pile of small doilies. Only trouble was what to do with them.

Then someone showed me a picture of a bowl that had been made from a doily. Brilliant!

I have since been turning all my small doilies into small bowls.Experiment with different shapes and sizes! In the morning, your lace bowls will be ready for use.
