Hi All, I've been up to my ears in getting my in-laws into an apartment in town so that's why I've been quiet. We moved them last weekend so I thought my work was done - I'm the only one of the kids and spouses with time to pursue this. Anyway, turns out they're getting the run-around from the phone company - they say they can't turn the phone on for 3 weeks! - and then something else came up so I'm not done yet...
However, you all have kept me sane with lacy talk! I will get back to those of you who have written me as soon as I can but here's the lace content for this message. In the February 1903 issue of "The Lace Maker" magazine edited by Sara Hadley and published by her husband, D. S. Bennet, there are two pieces of NL. One is Venetian Point and about that she writes: "A beautiful table set, cloth and doilies, in Venetian point, recently sold for fifteen hundred dollars. Many cost more than this." Wow! There is also a photo of a piece of "Brussells Rose Point" which is the Point de Gaze I learned how to make last October. She writes: "The lace lover who is ambitious to make the Brussels rose point can do so, but cannot work long at it and soon loses patience." Sara Hadley would be very glad to know that people are still learning to make this lovely lace 101 years later! Jane in Vermont, USA trying to enjoy "Stick Season".
