Dear List: It's been a while since I've been active in lacemaking during a recent move, several of my projects were damaged. I'd hoped that I might have found someone in NE who was willing to provide professional assistance in possibly righting the wrongs done to the threads... and I am still hoping.
Now I have another request. I own many lace bobbins. My (rather hasty) move was in the context of leaving the marital home, and in the course of settlement, my (hopefully soon to be ex) husband claims that my lace bobbins are worth $10,000. Would anyone be willing to give me a fee they would charge to come down and evaluate the value of my bobbins? pillows? maybe he even wants me to cost out the threads? But seriously, I need advice. How does one value bobbins? I have some nice bone ones, some fancy wood ones, etc... Embarrassed but grateful to anyone who wants to respond to me off list at [email protected] Thanks very much to all in advance. I keep saying when my life settles down I'm getting back to lace... One of the projects I'm trying to salvage is a 3/4 done edging for what I hope to be my daughter's wedding handkerchief... Started it when she was 7, now she is 15... I still ahve some time but... Again, apologies to the list but thanking anyone who can help, Sincerely Carrie Salafia - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
