Hi Jacquie,
This made me laugh. I also had one of those stickers in my little
'Shove-It' - a Vauxhall Chevette which by then had seen better days - for
quite some time, and was using it one day to go to the lace-making group in
Woodbridge, Suffolk. (Incidentally, I think the sticker was purchased
from Hornsby's, about twenty-five years ago ...)
I stopped at temporary traffic lights, and the lorry driver behind me was
hooting the horn, and flashing the lights, so as the car was, by then, a
little unreliable, I wondered what was the matter. However, no warning
lights were on, so I ignored it - but the flahing and hooting got worse.
In the end, I stepped out of the car, reaolised that there was no smoke
erupting, so asked whatever was the matter. He just looked me straight in
the eye and said "Do you give lessons?"
I didn't know what he was on about, so asked him what he meant. He just
gestured to the sticker in the back of the car, I blushed as red as a
beetroot, and got back into the car as quickly as I could! Luckily the
lights had changed, so I belted away, in high confusion - and when the car
finally died, I *didn't* replace the sticker!
Carol - still grinning at the memories - in Suffolk UK

Subject: [lace] Lace car stickers
In the 1980s one or more of the UK lace suppliers sold a blue sticker to
fit
inside a car window, with the words "Lacemakers do it on a pillow" and a
lacey
design behind the words.
