Dom,
Where in France is the Queyras region? The 'photos-saint-veran' appear to be
in the Alps area.
These are really beautiful pillows, the carving is wonderful, and I really
like the stand of the one from Cogne region. I want one of each, just to
display.

This book ws discussed on Arachne about a year ago, and I went and

Agnes, are you sure it was a year ago? or perhaps a different book? The
book hasn't been officially published (July 29) although there have been
reviews copies around, and maybe a book club published it early??

Isn't this book the one that was self-published last year and became on
over-night sensation? I think all of the major publishing firms were
clamoring to get the rights to publish a commercial version. I had put
in an order through Amazon ages ago, and they kept telling me it was

Dear Lace Friends Who Enjoy Reading,
Last Fall, my local independent book shop owner gave me a William Morrow
preview copy of this book, which I read carefully. I decided not to write
about
it to Arachne, because the description of how the lace was made so
drastically differed from the
Hi Jeri, and all,
I never got as far as locating any descriptions of lace making. I'm afraid
I knew immediately it wasn't to my taste -- I love mysteries, but I'm
