We are taking our usual vacation to Maine. (For those who are not in the northeast of the USA, from Lancaster, PA to Bar Harbor Maine is over 12 hours driving on motorways/interstates when possible. We go almost every year. One year we took the ferry to Swan's Island and went to their little museum and I found a piece of lace, I think on a pillowcase. Rather coarse, but not Torchon, either. Are there other little gems of lace on exhibit anywhere in Maine? I really think we need to collect these places. It's certainly not even worth a ferry ride to see the little piece of lace, but if you know something worthwhile is there, you're more likely to look for it. The lace appeared to be the sort of thing that was made at home. Certainly not Ipswich. Coarse. But handmade. But it would be nice to at least have such gems known. Maybe someday, we'll find that more lace was made in the US than is presently known.
Lyn from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, where it's been hot (90F)during the day, but chilly at night. Labor Day weekend is coming, and the weather looks good. Unless the huricaine comes too close to land. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected]
