One thing that I and others associate with grandmas is various types of crocheted, knitted, and tatted items. Doilies.

Doilies can be found on tables, chair arms, the back of chairs, and really anywhere that needs a little decoration. Doilies can be one solid color, or they can have various colors like the one pictured.
I decided to end Women's History Month with something simple, doilies. Too often, we don't spend time telling the story of our female ancestors because the genealogically-relevant records seem to be missing. But the items we need to tell her story are all around us, we just need to look.
