Please don't forget the Lace Museum in Sunnyvale, CA. I know we are small, but we are certainly independent. We have a wonderful collection, and while only a very small part of it can be on display at a time, we do change the display 4 times a year, and will bring out special items to those specialists who ask about our lace and arrange a visit in advance. The Christmas display which will close at the end of this month features the excellent doll collection owned by the Museum. Most of the have lace trimmed costumes, and two are large enough to wear beautiful Christening robes from the Museum collection. Our next display will be of doilies of all types. Arachne visitors are especially welcome. Just send Paula Harten or myself an email to set a date. The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 to 4.
