Tom Deleenheer is, or was, managing director of: Louise Verschueren, Real Belgian Lace Manufactory Rue Watteeu 16, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgium Tel. 0032.2.5110444 - Fax 0032.2.5138578 http://www.belgian-lace.com http://www.belgiantapestries.com (details taken from his email to Arachne in 1999) I have just checked out the lace link, it still comes up but the last update was 2002 and the "crafters corner" he mentioned in his email doesn't appear to be on the site. I have sent an email asking if they are still trading, whether the tapes are still available, and will let you know if I hear anything (I've also asked if they do the Le Luxeuil tapes). When I bought the black, it was a case of having to buy a full card, but the service was efficient and I was able to pay by credit card. Tom was hounded off the list for occasionally sending emails about the products they had for sale - tapes, fine linen, etc - I doubt even as frequently as Theo posts to chat about the books he has available - but this was at a time, in the days before the split of lace and chat, when another supplier was being annoyingly frequent with blatant adverts and whereas bobbin lace suppliers are fairly numerous, and such adverts were annoying, those of us with "minority lace" interests are not so well catered for and need to know the details of the few existing suppliers! As I say, I don't know if the company are still trading, and have no other connection with them than having been a customer in the past. -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
