If you've been wondering how to use old doilies .....
Then you might want to check this one out for something unique!!

Scroll down to "Not Your Grandma’s Corset"
and click for a larger view

And if you want to see how this ties with history, take a look at the real 1890 version that was the inspiration ...

And while there, take a look around at the rest of the show for some inspiration. It's in an interesting setting, as the Museum is housed within a new-1994 barn structure, typical of Southern Ontario's many century barns, still in use today.

No, I haven't been, but do plan on going as part of my summer holiday plans of the Yours to Discover Shop Hop.
