Awww… that is so sweet babindg! Thank you for your offer. I do have a few doilies - my mom was a tatter and my gram a crocheter. My mom was into orange tatted doilies in the 70’s and I have one of those. Hmmmm…..

Hey Johnnie, my mom was from TN and they called her Johnnie too. Good idea! - I read that monogrammed items are coming back “in” again.

You’re right Ardell - the botanical border would really call attention to meaningful words!
