    Hello everyone
    Thanks to those that gave me so much help with my masonic pendant, the suggestions have proven 20170307_114610-1-738x706.jpg 20170307_114333-1-695x711.jpg 20170307_113242-1305x734.jpg 20170307_112743-1305x734.jpg 20170307_112550-1305x734.jpg invaluable.

    I am wondering if anyone collects doilies etc in this day and age. I have 23 assorted types but will only post a few pictures. I would welcome anybody who might have thoughts about collectors.
    Thanks

    Not really; I've never had any luck selling them, and the local estate sale dealers usually all but give them away. Crafters still like them however.

    I have had limited luck selling them mounted on velvet(een) and framed. I have also cut portions from figural ones and framed them in regular photo frames with a bit better luck. But all the materials were found, not purchased and the labour was about 15 minutes.............

    $.50 - $2. each at a garage sale here in CA. As mentioned, crafters still use them in projects.
    Nicer ones $3-$6. retail.

    I have a bunch of these too, some were made by my mum and she had them dotted all over the house. I love them but have them as keepsakes. They are very pretty.

    I pick these up at local sales and give them to my neighbor as she has a lot of nice items on her tables and wants to protect the wood.
    I do see sellers on Etsy making lots out of these and selling them for crafter's.
