[lace] IOLI Convention Arachne Get together lunch

[Janice Blair]

I have heard from the hotel that we can hold our luncheon Tuesday, here is an
excerpt from the email:
"We have decide to put your “informal” lunch get together in our Max
Lounge, the number of the area will be what we call the 600’s (it is a
raised area where we have our entertainers perform from on the weekends, this
is not a private area but at least area at the end or our Lounge area."

The hotel are organising box lunches or some sort of quick pick lunches that
we can pick up and take to the area once we get out of class. Hopefully the
area will not be too noisy and we can do our usual introductions and raffle.
I also asked for trash cans so we can clean up after ourselves. Looking
forward to seeing you all soon.

Re: [lace] Archie’s christening gown

[Jeri Ames]

Dear Susan,

Off and on, we have written about various royal christening gowns from
England, Denmark, etc.  You can search Royal Christening Gowns at:

http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html 

I've not seen the most recent correspondence to which you refer.

Historically, the book - Royal Honiton Lace - by Elsie Luxton and Yusai
Fukuyama has interesting history.  Published in 1988 by Batsford, ISBN
0-7134-5764-3.

And, of course, searching the subject will turn up lots of illustrated sites
for all to enjoy.

Hello All!  Luckily a friend emailed me about the online photos of the gown.
Hope everyone is enjoying a rerun of (arguably) the most famous royal
christening gown replica! Perhaps an expert will comment on its creation. Is
the Honiton lace appliqued on silk & tulle? Sincerely, Susan Hottle FL, USA

[lace] In plain sight finds, The East Devon Lace Bobbin Project.

[brido11]

Just to let you know that even though this project is quite new a few
exciting things have happened in the last few days.

 

A bobbin dated 1662 (possibly England's oldest dated bobbin)  few new
inscriptions recorded of special interest, besides my previous reporting of
Queen Victoria, a Lady Horse Rider and Jousting match.  

 

All this is very exciting, but the thing is that all these finds were in
"Plain Sight", all it took to find them was a special interest and kind
request for owners to look at their decorated Honiton/Downton lace bobbins.

 

In general I do not have enough bobbins to study and if you could contribute
to this Project I would love to have a simple but sharp, picture of your
decorated Honiton Downton bobbin. And a list of the inscriptions you may
have on them.

 

The pictures do not need special skill, just line up about 6 bobbins with a
little space between them for each picture you send me.  I would just love
that.

 

I am bursting with excitement. please do not let me deflate!! Smile   I am
sure we will all be amazed ay what will turn up, In plain sight" within your
collection.

 

Brian
