Oh, Thank Goodness!! Just when I think that all lacemakers fade away as non-descript "little old ladies", I learn from Janice that a lacemaker is not only still making lace, but is not beyond threatening someone with a knife for giving away secrets!! I laughed and laughed!! Thank you, Janice, for giving me a view of Janet - my new ideal!!
