When Vibeke went to Prague for the EC meeting, she bought a couple of
new stamps with lace on them, and sent them to me (6.40 and 9 Czech

This sounds like a shop which I know in the Shambles in York. It is not
a museum street, but most of the buildings are very old, and have the

I have a large collection of lace stamps too. I have made lists with
scanned pictures and this is what I have so far:
Stamps with lace and lace makers (I don't collect stamps with people
wearing lace): more than 200, only very few missing as far as I know.
Stamps with embroidery are not included.
