Hi All, This topic has gotten a bit far from lace but it is appropriate if you need to check your arachne e-mail when far from home! DH and I had a fantastic trip to Charleston, South Carolina in mid-March. We stayed at 3 different hotels (we drove). All advertised internet connections but DH had to get an Ethernet card to use it. All three had wireless connections, two were free and the hotel in Charleston charged. Actually you connect on-line to another company, it was something like $10.00/night or $15.95/week. Since we were there four nights we got it for the week. It worked great! It kept him entertained and he did let me check my e-mail <G>.
He had specifically not had wireless "stuff" put in his new laptop for security reasons but wireless was all we found. Other hotels might be different. I did see a little lace in Charleston at the city museum. They had an underwear show and there was Irish Crochet on some pieces and, I think, Valenciennes (sp?) on others. I think the latter because one book I have says that was used alot around 1900. From a distance I thought I spotted an exquisite white lace fan but upon closer inspection it turned out to be carved ivory - Wow! They had three of those in their collection. It's an interesting musuem, the collection is built on the collections of what I think of as Victorian gentleman scientists though they were probably from different eras. Lots of stuffed and unstuffed birds and animals, jars of pickled things, shells, bird's eggs and some Egyptian artifacts among other things. Jane in Vermont, USA where the sun is going in and out and the leaves on the trees are getting bigger.
