Today I am featuring just a few of my vintage crochet with Coloradolady and her many other participates.
Bear in mind none of these were made by me. I wish I had known how when my eyes were better. All of these pieces were from various family estates. I am very fortunate to have been able to get them. I love crochet and all other handmade linens. I have way too many to share at one time. I am sorry, but I do not even know the names of the patterns for these. Will do another post later on.

I love crochet, wish I could do it! Love the daisy doilies-enjoy!
I love these pieces, especially the first three. I love the way those ruffles seem to stand up. Happy VTT!
Yours was the first post I had to read because of the beautiful crochet! Beautiful doilies!
So many different patterns and each just as pretty as the last.
Your post brought back so many wonderful childhood memories.. both my grandmother and mother crochet - and to me its these are like a work of art!! Happy Wednesday my friend..HHL
Your collection is just lovely. We received many beautiful crocheted doilies as wedding gifts from my husband's grandmother and his great aunts. I wouldn't trade them for anything.
I love vintage crochet. I like all types but stick mainly to potholders for my collection.
How pretty, LV! I love the one with the black eyed susans on it! Happy VTT!
These are so nice. I love the last two pictured especially!
Oh how beautiful! I don't have the patience for it. I do have a small collection myself....but yours are outstanding!
Gorgeous crochet work, LV... My mother used to have a little of that ---but I don't know where it went, or what happened to it.
I hope you have some family members who will want some of your vintage goodies when you can no longer take good care of them..
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,

Beautiful crochet pieces, and you are so lucky to have them. Thanks for sharing.

They are beautiful, I have two favorites the daisy doily and the black-eyed Suzy doily. I wish they were mine.
My childhood neighbor used to make doilies all the time. I used to help her starch them.
Very pretty! I remember my mom having a lot of those.
These are beautiful, LV! My favorite is the white and yellow, it makes me think of daisies, my favorite flowers!
These are beautiful. My mom knits and crochets beautifully. I've been asking her for something new for my dining room for years but she took care of my dad during his Alzheimer's for so long and now she's just catching up on some much needed pampering. She deserves it.
Thank you for stopping by my little corner. Look forward to visiting.
I have loved crocheted doilies all my life. They are so pretty and make a house more comfortable looking.
I had a great aunt that even put them on her chairs and sofas to protect the arms and backs of the furniture. I don't do that but I still think it looks warm and kind of nicely old fashion to use them under a vase or table lamp.
These are all beautiful. I love the yellow and white one that looks like daisies. It's very sweet.
My favorite is the sunflower.....so cute! These are real treasures! Have a great VTT!
What a beautiful collection you have. My mom is 81 and i wish she would have a blog. She will go on the computer to look up recipes and things, but that is all. You do a wonderful job.
LV,
So beautiful but I am not gifted in the area to create such things of beauty. I love the women who can create them!

These are gorgeous.Some of the patterns look familiar to me,as I used to do a lot of crochet work.I love the ruffles.I never did really master the art of starching the doilies to look just right.Boy,did this post ever bring back a flood of memories.Thank-you so much.

Those are beautiful ones.
A girl after my heart. I love doilies. My mom spent countless hours crocheting and regrettably I don't have a single one of hers.
P.S. I see there's been some blog renovations going on. Looks good!
These are beautiful pieces! I have some from my aunt; I wonder where I put them. Hmmm
Just beautiful doilies! The set of square ones are just so unusual! Love the frilly borders!
very pretty crochet.. and the ruffles look so girly! love them so much! happy VTT
So very pretty! I love them too.

Just lovely patterns, Mimi - so pretty! That must have taken hours of hard work at the end of the day for someone to make such wonderful treasures! Thanks for sharing them!
Very nice crochet collection! Those are really delicate pieces.
Thanks for sharing :)
They are lovely, no matter who made them. I think it is neat how the top ones almost look like trays, with their raised ruffles! My grandmother used to make these, and because she did them all the time, she didn't really save many. It is a shame, isn't it?
Thank you very much for your visit and your lovely words
Your vintage crochet are really pretty, I love them
Meeting you has been a pleasure
Hugs
Thank you for your visit today! I checked out your blog and you've done really well and have quite a following. You'll be getting one more now.
Have a blessed day!

Beautiful pieces! What a nice collection. And I love your blog header, too. :)
What a beautiful collection you have. The flower ones are especially pretty.
Those really brought back memories of my grandma's house! She crocheted beautiful doilies - thanks for sharing and for visiting!
Hi LV!
You lucky! Oh, I love each and every one of these. The blue one is so intriguing the way the leaves (?) are turned, love that.
Happy VTT,
Sally
Lovely crotchet doilies! I was wondering how the ladies got them to stand up so nicely. I know they used starch but can't imagine the time it took to iron. Or the burned fingers!
Beautiful crocheted doilies, My grandma used to crochet them. She would starch them so the ruffles would stand up.
These are beautiful pieces. I like the different colors and styles.
LV,
These are so beautiful!! I just love them!!
Debbie
