Some 15 years ago I went to the sale of the contents of a very old country house hoping to buy some Honiton lace for my Lacemakers. The price went up way too much for us to buy but the next week one of my Students brought the very same lace --flowers and ferns and small animals about 3 or 4" to show my class and to ask me to sew it on a table cloth for a low table to go under a heavy glass top. It had been bought for her for a special Birthday by her family. I did sew it on and it looked lovely and would always be a conversation starter while drinking coffee. I was very envious but pleased that she was blessed with such a lovely birthday present that will go down the family.

Over the years I have made quite a lot of Honiton lace motifs. Some of them are in paperweights but there is a limit to how many of those I want to have to dust. A couple of very tiny ones I have placed inside lockets but most of them are put away in a drawer which seems a pity after all the work that has gone into them. Has anyone got any different ideas for displaying these small pieces? Ann Yorkshire UK -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 7 million users fighting spam.
