i don't think your illogical at all. there is nothing wrong with putting your name out for business contacts. it's very nice that a lot of these lacers on this website put thier private info in thier emails. most of the ones that chat the most on these forums are lace teachers and they are used to doing lectures and traveling to lace museums with a group. they also have many websites that they upkeep on lace history.
lace is a hard business to get business for these days, and any one working in specialty crafts like that have to travel or take out of the area business. i'm sure there is plenty of work local, but nothing like you could get if you put the word out around some of the nearest towns. --- Carol Adkinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Susan et al, > > I disagree slightly with Susan - I always sign my eMail messages with > my > Christian name, but don't usually put my surname - which is spelled > in quite > an unusual way, so I would be easily located, as there is no-one else > - > except my son and his wife - in the phone book with my surname.
