Dear Lacefolk,
I don't post very often, usually only when I have a problem with my lace, but I just
had to tell you about the lace bargain I got in England.
I live in Cyprus and I only visit home (England) about once or twice a year, so I'm
always looking out for lace stuff when I'm there.
I popped into a local (Somerset) charity shop for a couple of books to read on the
plane and happened to nose into a basket (thanks must go to my tall partner who
fetched the basket down for me from the heights).
To my amazement it had lots of little packets of bobbins in it. The first packet I
picked up, I dropped in disgust, as it was a pack of plastic bobbins from Dryad?. But
all the others had my mouth watering. There were ebony, mahogany, applewood,
laburnum, all different types of wooden bobbins. About 60 in all, and when I asked how
much, the lady behind the counter counted them up and said �20 for the lot.
Considering most people charge between 30p - 40p for beech wood bobbins, I thought
that this was a bargain, which I rapidly snapped up.
I'm very happy with them, as they are the first fancy(ish) bobbins I've bought!
Best wishes
