Paper Lace Heart Doily Doilies: The Destiny of Things, Story 170

Paper Lace Heart Doily Doilies:  The Destiny of Things, Story 170

These were in a Valentine exchange and returned with photos and stories!

photo via The Destiny of Things, more 6 inch heart doilies available here and 3" ones here and I have large  10.5 inch heart doilies, request them and I'll list them asap!

These were another overbuy with an art project in mind and then forgotten!  I do remember what I want to do with these smaller 3" paper lace hearts, if I can find the rest of the project idea things!

Anyways, these went to an exchange and here is the email explaining it:

Hello!

My name is Tearah Muns, I am the host for the party blog To Entertain. While browsing Etsy, a few items in your shop caught my interest. I am currently planning a Mother-Daughter Valentines Brunch, to debut February 14th, and I would love to feature some of your items! The party will be elegant and fun, and of course up to our blog's standards of excellence. The event will feature lovely flowers, hearts, and lace, all in a park setting perfect for our younger guests. I'll be entertaining around 20-30 ladies, and your heart doilies would be certain to highlight the event. Would you be willing to exchange for a feature in our Valentine's Day blog post? You'd receive a shout out and review in the post, complete with links back to your shop, a feature on the side panel of our blog and posts in both our Facebook and Pinterest pages.

I am specifically interested in your Floral Heart Paper Lace Doilies, I think two dozen would be sufficient for the elegant and whimsical feel that I am aiming for.

Visit our blog and check out past party posts at toentertain.wordpress.com

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi Tearah!

Thanks for the links and promotions! The post is beautiful and I'm happy to hear the doilies worked triple duty as table confetti, kids crafts and memory keepsakes!

Thanks again with much appreciation,

The Valentine brunch for 20-30 was decorated from many other fellow Etsy shops too.  It must have been really fun setting it all up!  And I am so thankful that my heart doilies could be part of it as table decor confetti!

Saying Goodbye:  I suppose if I could remember what I was going to do with these I wouldn't be letting them go and as a recovering hoarder I am reluctant to let them go, in case I remember, but since I'm trying to start new habits and patterns here they are....

What I Learned:

1.  I am such a paper hoarder!  Here is another reminder to write projects down as they come to me, otherwise I am left with too many supplies!  At least I'm not keeping them for any reason, like "just in case" I need them later!  Read my first reminder with Martha Stewart folders here.

2.  I've never done an exchange before, so it was an interesting experience and I'm thankful that the paper lace heart doilies got some festive use and double dutied not only as table confetti, but as a craft activity to create into Valentines and then pass them out or take with them as a keepsake.

Anyone else out there who gets tons of creative ideas, gathers up all the stuff and ends up moving on to a different art project?  or is it just a hoarder thing?

Thank you Tearah for my first exchange!  And sending me your story and photos to help me with my Hoarder Rehab journey and why I hoard!

Thank you Etsy for helping me find over 600 new lives for my hoarded items as I continue my Hoarder Rehab adventures!

Thank you US, Brazil, Canada, Argentina, China, Germany, Ecuador, India, Italy, Malaysia and many other countries for visiting as I lift off my burdens through my  HoarderRehab and The Destiny of Things!  

Click on the shop names to visit my hoard listed daily: HoarderRehab,  The Destiny of Things, VintageToGoEtsy and now JunkDrawerLoveEtsy!  There are about 100 items listed on JunkDrawerLoveEtsy and will resume new listings in a few days and will continue to relist 1-2 items at the other shops!  Thanks for looking!  Maybe you'll find something to take home and share your story too!
