Hello Helene, may be I did'nt say so clearly: I run a shop in a beautiful castle where I sell lace and equipment. We offer these special german roller pillows and hooded bobbins and also some sorts of block pillows, filled with felt and continental (flemish, danish and swiss) bobbins. In our castle we organize exhibitions, especially a competition for children. We are just now receiving the first pieces for our next exhibition. This years theme was: *my song*. Children had to think about a song, a verse or a phrase of a song and try to make a picture that they could work in lace. We wonder what kind of songs they will choose. There are three groups from 7 to 18 years. I heared from a group of children who came up with an english song. They had to translate it for their lace-teacher, because older people here did not learn english. I attend fairs in Germany and other countries and in between I try to design new lace. In all that is what I am doing. I started as a historian, but because my husband is a historian too, we could not find jobs in the same town, so I made my hobby my job. Greetingsfrom Chemnitz, Gabriele
