One of the things you have to understand about ebay is that ebay sets up the headings... one of the categories is "lace,crochet, doilies". That doesn't mean everything in that section is crocheted or doilies - or even lace... and sometimes people list a bunch of things and forget to change a category, so you might find something really odd in that category - like an auto muffler or something! AND... a lot of people intentionally put things in categories that aren't necessarily appropriate, hoping to catch the eye of someone looking for related things.
Considering the length of the book - 21 pages - I don't think it's an exhaustive treatise on ANY form of lace ! ; ) Clay -- Clay Blackwell Lynchburg, VA USA -------------- Original message -------------- From: Tamara P Duvall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > On Jan 21, 2008, at 13:43, Brenda Paternoster wrote: > > > Tamara > > > > Old Point Lace is made using machine made tapes joined together with a > > variety of NL type fillings.
