Hello Again! Thank you Antje for the translation! There are a number of similar book(let)s in English--all purporting to enlighten their readers to the womanly pursuits of the day. I think at one point I found one that recommended gin for cleaning lace! As to the ceramic bobbins, as I recall they are Majolica. Several years ago, at the EGA seminar in Louisville, KY, there was an Italian group that was promoting their lace/embroidery/textile school/festival (northern Italy?) & sold bobbins, Assisi embroidery, knotted work (string-like tassels) & other stuff. Luckily I snagged these & now wish that I had bought more! Thanks for asking Vicki--does this mean you will be my roommate if I travel there to take the classes?? DH is frowning even as I mention this! Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA
