Re: [lace] New stamps from France
Hi arachnids, Have just ordered all four stamps directly from the French Postal site. The site is in French but can be translated after a fashion (enough to understand what is going on) by the Windows program. My French is minimal and I was able to cope with it this way. The Lace stamps look really interesting. Thank you Laurie for keeping us all up to date with Lace News.

[lace] New stamps from France
In message A09EE57DFA1C4D93BCE9ECDA38ACEE60@weatherwax, Agnes Boddington ag...@weatherwax.karoo.co.uk writes I did the same, cost was 12.90 Euro for all 4 incl. postage. Agnes Boddington - Elloughton UK Not wishing to simply add a me too - I had a look around the site and have also ordered a book of twelve stamps released in January this year - Fabrics of the World. These show representative fabrics for each of the countries featured - carpets, embroidered satins, velvets, metallic embroidery, etc. By the looks of things postage is free but there is a handling charge of 2.90e which didn't increase when I added the book of stamps to my order. -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] New stamps from France
Do you think it's possible for someone from the US to order from the site? If I pay with a credit card will the currency get translated? My French is not great but I could probably stumble through the site if I had to.

Re: [lace] a very old lace book
I spent a little time trying to figure out what the book is. It doesn't appear to have any identifying info on it. Maybe there is identifying info on the archive but I couldn 't find it. However, I am certain it is the same book that is shown in pl. 15 of Santina Levey's Lace a History. Ghirlanda de sei vaghi fiori, by Pietro Paolo Tozzi, Padua, 1604. I was trying to figure out if it had ever been reprinted in modern times. I can't find any reference to a reprint. It is listed in the Lotz Bibliography of Pattern Books as number 139 a. It claims there are copies in the Metropolitan Museum, the V A, museums in Leipzig, Vienna, Bologna, and Paris. There are also other versions of the book, one in 1616, and one in 1621. So, is it an original or a reprint? The library has punched its name in the book, which I would find a little surprising if it was an original. But, then again, who knows?
