 Sell them? I never thought of doing that actually. The probably would.
I have been told by several they could sell all the doily's I can
make, but haven't found a 'quick' pattern. They all take alot more
time than what they would be worth to make. 
I do have a Annies Attic pattern for High Top Tennies that are realy
quick and easy to make and have been told they could sell for $6-$8 !!
With only about 1.5 hours to make a pair I could do those!!

 Yup! Most of it is in colors though, not much in white. Blues, Greens,
and yellows. I found some in there that were still in their original
cellophane wrapping and priced at $00.65 ! for 600 yards! Several cones
of that in the box! I keep a look out for things like that at the
yard sales and estate sales we go to in the summer up here. 
So far it hasn't turned warm enough to have an outside yard sale!

Peacock feathers sounds interesting! I was going to modify the butterfly 
one to make 'Shamrocks' in green for St.Paddy's day. I am going to try
to experiment a little with the  'filet' style bookmarks.
