About Us
CrochetDoilies.com opened its doors in July 2004 and is owned and maintained by myself, Leslie. My eBay seller id is Crochet*Doilies and I have been an eBay member since May-06-99.
Dear Visitor,
Yes, I do everything myself, from crocheting, packing and shipping your orders, to maintaining my web site...!
It takes me about 6 to 10 hours to complete an average size doily. I think the lace filet crochet name doily is a great idea for gift giving. Customers often share with me who the doily will be for, some write back after it was given as a gift and it is very nice to know when it made someone happy. Afterall, the best mean of advertizing is by word of mouth...
Enough chatting... back to crocheting! :)
Have a great day, Leslie
How did it begin?
It all began ... with my Grandma Gisèle.
Over thirty years ago, my grand mother Gisele taught me my first chain stitch. I was only 8 years old! Quickly a passion was born! My very first crochet works were endless chain stitches turned into necklaces. Then there were scarves... and vests... and so on. I also knit, cross-stitch, needlepoint, paint, do enamels... etc... my "crafty green thumb" was a gift from my grandma Gisèle. She was an excellent seamstress and a wonderful crocheter.
One day, back in 2004, I received a special request from an eBay customer to crochet several name doilies for all her grandchildren. This is what started this website and turned my passion for the Art of Crochet into a business.
Thank you to all customers who order or who place bids on my online auctions. You are the ones who keep this small business so meaningful and very much alive!
I appreciate & value all your feedbacks and I proudly display them on my Testimonials web page.
