The list is endless of the extras we collect.
A nightmare when we came to downsize yet again to a much smaller house.
My solution was to give most of my antique laces to The Manor House
Museum in Bury St. Edmunds together with books on history and
identification. This way they have become available to other lacemakers
and not just me.

What a generous solution to this problem!
And I was eager to visit Bury St. Edmunds and see the laces, until a web
search discovered that the museum had closed in 2007.
There is a brief video of a sample of the collections,

which was exquisitely lovely, and including what appears to be at least
one piece of lace.
Do you know what has happened since?

Buckinghamshire, U.K., where it is a still afternoon with cool air and
hazy sunshine - very peaceful).
