Hi Sue...
When I first read your note, I intuitively understood that you were
talking about antique bobbins... And although it wouldn't be the same,
there is a bobbin maker here in the US who can make bobbins which look
like the antiques. Even if you can't find a genuine antique, Chiara's
bobbin could look old like the rest of them. Write to Ken
Van-Dieren... His website is http://www.bobbinmaker.com/

I am sorry!!! I didn't re-read my posting before I hit the send
button! Chiara and I were of course, looking at my antique bobbin
collection!!!! I have managed to trace many of our family names on
antique bobbins, but Chiara and her cousins Jorja and Tayla and aunts
Rochelle and Veronica are not represented so far!! I do have
christening bobbins for all the grandchildren, so in fact Chiara does
have a bobbin which was made for her, but she would really like an
antique one! She is 11 years old and is gradually learning to make
lace, so it would have been nice to have been able to give her an
antique bobbin with her name on since she would like one. I would
still like to know if people inother parts of the world than England
named their bobbins in the old days.
Many thanks to those of you who have replied suggesting I get one made
for her by our much esteemed bobbin maker, I shall have to look into
that as an option!!
