One part of the doily project is completed!

This is the shelf that started this whole "doily project." Unfortunately, it really started something! In addition to the five I've already made, I now have three larger doilies to make, as well as four more of this same size, all for different parts of my husband's study.

The good news? He said it can count as my Valentine's Day gift to him. (I'm beginning to think a storebought gift would have been a lot less "costly" when you count time, but this is a labor of love, after all.)

And here's a closeup of one of the shelves with a decorative plate (from Goodwill, along with two other matching decorative eagle plates at $4 each). The doilies really do add a finished look!
