For me, the most surprising finds at my neighborhood thrift store are doilies. I know that they are long out of style, but the work that goes into one? They should cost hundreds of dollars. I know this, because I once bought a crochet book, a hook, and some thread and set off to learn to crochet a doily while my family played along the beaches of Lake Michigan. It is tediously hard work. If I remember correctly, I got something about the size of a silver dollar except it would not lay flat.
Anyway..,
this piece is not crochet, and it doesn't look like tatting either.
But it's beautiful and flawless and works perfectly for me!

I totally agree!!
This year at the church arts and crafts show, there was a lady who showed tons of doilies and I found it sad because I know that someday she will die and they will be in a thrift store for a dollar for someone like me to buy - which is a shame when one considers how much work went into it.
