Hi everyone and Lynn, Thanks for the link to the Milanese lace of antiquity! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2219&item=7323077731&rd=1&ssPageName=WD2V
The description by the lace evaluator is excellent, but for that money I'd like a bit more provenance. I note the seller prefers Paypal and will mail the thing for $9.75 - a pedestrian amount compared to the opening bid.... Interesting to see a rate of $10.00 per square inch, new commission value. this would be why the item is priced the way it is. At an inch an hour, working 8-hour days, a person would be busy for about 8 months on this thing. Is it worth it? (and would the lacemaker get benefits?) ;) -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (on a pretty spring day on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
