…can add just the right feminine touch to a lamp shade. I recently found this handmade doily at an estate sale. It has the sweetest pink crocheted roses all around the edges.
My friend Karen inspired me awhile back to simply drape a doily over a lampshade – it adds such an extra layer of detail.
In the evening the softness of the light casts a perfect glow that accentuates the beautiful handwork of the graceful little doily.
A soft feminine detail to the Home Goods lamp and shade that I found several years ago. I think it is a keeper!

...and I think it's very pretty too!
I love your decor! It is so cute! I am going to try and find a Home Goods store.... I don't know if we have those in Orlando.

Becky I love that beautiful embroidery of the angels and I have always loved your lampshade.
Beautiful doily you found, looks so good on your lampshade.
LOVE your little red-coated girls with the white muffs ;)
A small touch can make all the difference....happy new year!
Yes, I really love that look, too, though I am always concerned that the doily will go up in flames. I'm such a worry wart.
What a wonderful idea. Thank you so much for sharing.
Have a great New Years eve and a fabulous beginning of 2012.
Beautifully soft and romantic touch Becky. Sorry I'm running behind here and missed your last post and the opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas. But I absolutely LOVE that photo of your son and the dogs...But oh my heck - you'd never talk my son into donning that suit....Glad your son is such a good sport (and makes a dang fine Santa as well!) Wishing you joy and hope for the new year....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
I just love doilies and this look it gives a lamp. Love the pic of your son in the Santa suit and the dog. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Happy New Year! ;D
hey Ms Becky! I love the doily and the look draped over the lampshade.... and love the red.
Hugs,

Happy New Year!

Beautiful vignette! I found a great yellow painted crate at a yard sale this summer that has been sitting in wait for a spot in the house...you have once again provided me with inspiration. Happy New Year!
