Clive's story reminded me of the Lace School that a secret pal sent to me from Australia many years ago.
It is a 5" round basket with a mouse Lace School set up in it. There's a teacher mouse, a spool of thread, and two student mice each with a cookie pillow (less than 2c wide) on a stand. The wall behind the students has a chart of the three basic bobbin lace stitches, and two pictures -- one being the Queen. Postage stamps were framed for the pictures. The basket has a lacy edging around it, top and bottom. The whole thing is really cute, and I have put it out on my display table at demos sometimes. (Sorry, I don't remember which SP sent it to me, but I thank her anyway.) Alice in Oregon -- another sunny day, but chilly. --- CLIVE Rice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My friend, who is an artist, made me a lacemaker's > cottage; rather a room in > a lacemaker's cottage.
