Hello all - Catching up on digests after a trip. I ran down to Philadelphia to see the Schiaparelli exhibit which was MARVELOUS. (In my opinion, their exhibit hall puts the Met's Costume exhibit space to shame. It's larger, handles crowds better and has an exhibit case down the center that allows pieces to be viewed from front and back.) I don't remember any lace but there was lots of embroidery, and the construction of the pieces was amazing as was the number of items on display (about 180 with about 140+ being clothes). I bought the 50-pound (as in weight) book but loaned it out immediately and haven't yet looked through it. One nice aspect of the show was the display of Salvadore Dali works next to the related items of clothing--they were often collaborators. It was quite a treat to get to spend plenty of time going through the exhibit.
As for melon pillow and carrot bobbins, it looks like something Little Grey Rabbit would have used! ;-) warm regards, Lorraine in frozen Albany, NY - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
