Paper Doilies Handmade
Paper Doilies Handmade offers handwoven and handcrafted home goods and accessories. I strive to curate fibres and other materials from other female-owned businesses (in Canada, if available), and as much as possible, I use sustainable materials such as recycled silk and cotton, or hand spun yarn from scraps, and/or yarn scrap ends.
