Probably not, with the appropriate paperwork done ahead of time; I was
funning. But, what about the (individual) entries that - as things
stand now - Canadians would have to mail to US? With, possibly, several
months of work involved (given the size of the piece), how many will be
willing to tick off "gift, under $15", on the custom's form? And then
some entries may have to be brought back to US and sent back to the
entrants in Canada, *doubling* the problems... Would make much better
sense (IMO), if Canadians could stay within their own postal system.
Back in my Polish childhood, we used to sing: "a song knows no borders
or barriers" and it may be true of lace also, but I wouldn't trust the
customs - either side of the border - to recognise the truth of it :)
