An authentic doily

Mr Ts not sure but he thinks his grandmother made this. We found it amongst various crocheted coasters and dinner mats at his family seaside cottage. I get a lump in my throat just looking at how much love was put into it. I would like to crochet oneday but I think my sewing machine will start getting jealous. I tried teaching myself how to thread the poor thing but it took me ages and made my hands felt like the size of boxing gloves. Anyway, going back to the lovely doily, we are thinking about having it framed.
