Dear Antje, About 12 years ago, the OIDFA Congress was held in Rauma, Finland. It would be worthwhile for you to find people who attended (I did not), as there was a lot of local lace displayed. For my lace collection, a friend brought back a lovely tape lace collar from Rauma. She reported they had wonderful jewelry in shops that reproduced lace in metals (gold/silver). You might try going to the Arachne archives to see if there is info about Rauma. _http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/index.html_ (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/index.html) Also, Barbara Fay (Germany) the book dealer publishes/sells books on Finnish laces.

Thank you very much in advance. Greetings from Antje, in a sunny Spain. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
