Hi,
I was going over some old lace magazines and was wondering what you are
doing with them. Do they end up in the recycling bin or do you give them to
other lace makers.
I have so many magazines and I want to down size a bit. To tell the truth

I am a new lace maker (tatting for 18 months and bobbin lace for 14 months).
