Hi Lynn -
I think your best bet is to watch ebay. Save a search term
that has the words lace and doll in it. You may find that
this gives you way more than you wanted, so you can
experiment and get more specific. A sample search string
might be, "doll (lace, lacemaker)"

I wouldn't say it's a "common" phenomenon for things to sell

the resources on-line for ordering supplies. It continues

I bought a bobbin tree years ago that impressed me with its
simplicity. It is just two wooden triangles made of thin
plywood with a hole drilled in each point. There are three
dowels cut the same length. All fit in a bag that is flat
and takes practically no space when not in use. When you
want
block pillows, bolsters, and travel pillows, I am
still a firm believer in the universal appeal of the flat
cookie pillow. Our guild always recommends this as a first
pillow, because it can be used for so many things, is
inexpensive, and lightweight.
