Dear Deborah: Welcome to our list. Although there have been many discussions about how we all got started making bobbin lace, your story struck an identical chord to mine! I was living in Mexico City during 1985-1986 while my husband was on sabbatical. While I was there, I also saw bobbin lace "courses" in an Anna magazine that had been translated into Spanish. I remembered seeing a lacemaking pillow in Ipswich, MA at the Whipple House and one in the General Lee mansion outside of Washington, DC. When we returned to the US to live, I started to work for an English company with a site in Massachusetts. Through many telephone conversations with the ladies in Amersham, I was able to trace enough information to find a supplier, books, etc. And that is how I got started (and that includes the horrid lacemaking kit).
