Any Advice?

I've a massive vintage doily colelction. MASSIVE. My favorites are the colorful of which I've hundreds.
If you've any notions as to how I can display them please let me know.
I've stitched them to a lace curtain. I'm placed them in hoops in my front doorway. I've draped them on tables.
I don't want to do a valance or more curtains because the colors fade in sunlight.
Let me know?

1980s Tea length Tissue Lame Formal

This made me faint when I met it. When I recovered I fell into a coma.
It's entirely too fabulous. Tissue lame is SO difficult to sew that it requires a ball point needle. I just want to roll around in it.
