Fancy Work

I was loading up on doilies today and while I was selecting these beauties, an elderly woman in the opshop commented on how much she loves "Fancywork". I agreed the work involved is to be admired, but I hadn't the heart to tell her I chop them up and reuse them in my jewellery.
I could imagine the look on her face if she saw the old suitcase in my studio brimming with poor shredded doilies... but they do add a special something.
