Tamara, the seller was in Richmond, *not* the buyer. For those who don't know, the Valentine is in Richmond...
There used to be lacemakers in Richmond and around Richmond. Back in the 80s, they hosted a Chesapeake Regional Lace Day in Richmond (it was just outside Richmond at Short Pump). I remember Christine and Carol Burley; Christine taught bobbin lace in Richmond, but her name is not in CRLG directory any more, and I don't go to their Lace Days to find out where everyone is. I recall that Christine had some lovely bobbins. Wonder if that was one of hers? Wonder where she is? Betty Ann in Roanoke, Virginia USA Certified Curmudgeon Tamara P.
