I well remember "The Needlewoman Shop" on Regent Street. It closed while we were living in Bucks sometime between 1977-81. In 1977, there were few, if any, bobbin makers but one could get ugly, slim plastic lace bobbins at The Needlewoman Shop. They were very utilitarian and I smile every time I run across one of them in my stash (I never discard *anything*). Does anyone remember the bead shop just off Regent Street? It was the retail outlet of the manufacturer who was at Hyde Heath, Bucks. When we were there in 1996, they were selling out all their strands of seed beads and I got lots of them. I also went to the warehouse in Hyde Heath and understood at that time that they were closing the warehouse sales room. Any information?
