After done the most important household-requests i will start my T�nder reports, yes I am afraid I need several hoping it will not bore you.
Friday morning, it was raining cats and dogs, we started to the north. The first stop was in Flensburg the Museum of the City. In the same room as the loom are the laces. A big pattern-book which ones belonged to Hans Hansen who was a lace-dealer in 19th cent. took my attention first. There is a piece of paper with a foto of him selling laces at the island Sylt about summer 1890 with the danske Elle/ yardstick in his hands, but this information I got later. And another such patternbook from 1841which one belonged Fedder Matthiesen both danish people. And around them and in another display-case laces, hankerchiefs and collars from that time. Most with T�nder-lace but some other techniques too. I had the impression that most of the laces in the second display-case were made later but after the old patterns. The things weren't well marked, that's a pity. I studied everything very carefully. It's not much there but if you are nearby it is worth to see it. Ask at the cashier after the laces and they describe you how to come there very quick.
For those of you who are interested in art the museum posses a few paintings and aquarells from Emil Nolde, aquarells from Erich Heckel and others who lived at the same time. But this things are in the other building.
After that we travelled farther north. When we arrived in T�nder the sun came out and said nice to meet you and it was wonderful without umbrella and in a bit of warmth.
Puting our things in the hotelroom and up I went to the salesroom, I had to bring some things to my Verband. I looked round if I need something and I met lots of familiar faces and it was a big hello here and there. But unhappily I couldn't find the three person from the list we wanted to meet each other.
The next morning I started my walk for the exhibitions they arranged for us, but this comes tomorrow.
I'll do some pictures in my webshot-album so you could have a look if you want.
