Television and Radio Scarfs 1950
Who knew we were supposed to crochet doilies for our televisions and radios ? Notice the crochet mat on top of the refrigerator ! No home is complete without these crochet accents covering all surfaces.
I can remember visiting my aunts as a child and they had fancy ruffled & starched doilies on coffee and end tables. I think theirs were tatted (a skill they learned from my Polish grandmother).

Oh man! I didn't know we were s'posed to put a doily on the 'fridge. I wonder if I ought to clean off the top of it, too? 0.0
Love the book!
My grandma used to make these for her kitchen and living room; brings back good memories.
Love the old picture, sure takes me back, my grandmother and my great aunts had dollies on everything!
Good old bureau scarfs...love them. Aren't those old pattern books the best?
Happy crocheting :)

My grandmother had doilies around but I don't know if she made them or purchased them. It does bring back memories.
