I have just come back from some time in Devon. The visit to Allhallows Museum was absolutely fantastic and viewing the lace in the museum was well worth the visit. However the lace that they have behind the scenes was awesome. They tell me that the rotate the lace that is put out every few months so it all should get some viewing over a period of time. There was also quite a bit of Pat Perryman's lace on display as well as a beautiful piece of the British Isles (I am sorry I can't remember her name) that is well worth seeing. Of course they had some lace prickings on sale and I bought some as well as the small book on Pat Perryman!! The lady I saw was Mary, who was very helpful and knowledgeable. If you get this message before you go it would be wise to ask how long you can have looking at the behind the scenes lace, we did not and I felt that I could have had more time if I had asked. Mind you it will be an incentive to go back again. Honiton is a lovely little town and although it was raining the day that I visited the museum everyone we spoke to was very friendly and helpful.
I hope you enjoy your trip. Maureen (East Yorkshire) - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected]
