That small cottage in Canberra is called Blundell's Cottage, I believe, and is from the very early settlement days. It is on the banks, now, of Lake Burley Griffin. When Helen & I went there, many, many years ago, there was a little old man looking after it, and he showed us some old needleworking tools, etc, and he got them from Nerilla's Antiques. Many Oz lacemakers will remember Nerilla, who sadly has passed on, now. She was invited to be guest speaker at the Melbourne Lace Days, on a regular basis, and brought with her, from Sydney, where she lived, some of her tools, needlework gizmos etc. Her talks were just SO entertaining, and informative. She also had a stall where we could buy some of her small antique tools. She is sadly missed. from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
