Not only are lace days and groups getting smaller and older, orchid
societies and shows are too. Again, a matter of availability. With so much
coming from China and Taiwan, things are rapidly and not necessarily for the
better IMHO.

PS As we have several new members of the list I'd like to suggest you give
us your location - it helps us help you with information and sources as well
helps us get to know you!

Hi Lacers,
Well, when Wal-mart stops selling fabric - which seems to be happening at
my
branch, (only one fabric rack left from a whole department of fabric) the
only fabric in town will be the Fabric Store, which is now specializing in
only quilting cottons....we will pretty much see the end of an era...
I will have to travel at least 30 miles to find fabrics, which usually
means, to find threads as well. We will all be using mail order. And our
postage just went up another penny for first class postage and now there
are
size restrictions on the envelopes and packages as well.
We are entering a new era.
