Might even have been from France :) Polish hand-made lace from Bobowa (bobbin) and Koniakow (crochet) can sometimes be found at the Warsaw airport and in some "folk" stores aimed, mostly, at tourists. But you have to know something about lace, because the shop assistants aren't likely to. I bought a really nice, large, lace-ornamented tablecloth and a set of 6 napkins to go with it, some 10 years ago. I was told that it was "Bobowa lace" by one of the assistants and that it was "Koniakow lace" by another. In fact, it was needlelace, probably made in China (but still very nice and worth the low price) -- Tamara P Duvall http://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
