I've been reading the messages about the demise of Lacy Susan and The
Lacemaker Shop.
I'm particularly sad about The Lacemaker Shop because it's about an hour away
from where I live. While it's nice to order things like thread and bobbins
online, I hesitate to buy books sight unseen. Every time I went there I ended
up spending about double what I had planned, because I was able to look at the
books, and always found at least 2 or 3 more than I had on my list.
The thing that frustrated me most about the store was that it wasn't open very
often. I had thought about organizing a "field trip" with a few people, but
it was a bit frustrating to try and find a day that she was open that was
convenient for everyone. She travelled to various lace days and SCA events.
A good part of her income came from these events.
If it were a few years down the road I would have seriously considered taking
over her business. But life is a little too complicated now. I hope whoever
buys it keeps it in the area.

to want nothing...
to expect nothing...
to depend on nothing.
