Hi Laurie I've been to Vila do Conde. That is a bit north of Oporto. It has a very nice Lace Museum, where there are usually women making lace. And there is also a craft shop, called "Artesanato", where they sell many things made in the area. I managed to buy some bobbins there and also two prickings on very hard cardboard... they were made the old way. Really interesting. IN this part of Portugal the bobbins have a round ball on the bottom. And they make a type of tape lace there, very loose.
I think Vila do Conde is worth a visit.. the village is also very nice.
