I was in Bennington, VT last weekend and stopped in at the Grandma Moses 
Museum. In addition to the Grandma Moses things the museum has a hodge podge of 
old curiosities on the second floor. Imagine my surprise to see an entire case 
full of lace related things. There was a pillow, a "lacemaker's lamp" which 
looked like a carafe with a candle behind it, and numerous pieces of lace. The 
descriptions were very creditable. I was quite pleasantly surprised. 
When I asked about the display in the gift store the woman corrected my term 
"bobbin lace pillow" by informing me that it was actually a tatting pillow, so 
I knew she hadn't written the descriptions.
Does anyone know anything about the history of this display?
