I have replied privately to Eva. I think that assistance with translations is a topic that arachne members like to see. I'm involved in 3 German to English projects at the moment, and am happy to volunteer for more. When Eva sent this message I was on a cycling holiday in the Bavarian and Tyrolean alps, where we got caught up in the floods. When the roads out of Garmisch-Partenkirchen re-opened we went to Innsbruck, where we visited the Volkskunst Museum (folk art museum of the Tyrol). A small part of the museum's exhibits are of interest to lacemakers. There is one pillow and a few pieces of lace in the part about local industries, and a lot more lace in context on the costumes. The museum is very good; it was the highlight of our trip to Innsbruck (even for my husband who is not interested in lace) and I heartily recommend a visit if you are in the area. (Going off topic) The current special exhibition at the Volkskunst Museum is about childhood in the 1950s in the Tyrol. DH and I found this fascinating, being 1950s babies ourselves. It was interesting to see what aspects were common with British childhood at the same time and what was totally different. Some of the clothing and toys were exactly like things I had, especially the home made clothes for both children and their dolls. Others, like playing cards with local flowers and wildlife, were very different. Not much call for children's skis in England! -- On the other hand, you have different fingers.
