Pene wrote about the Miss Fisher series and I have been watching some of them by streaming Acornonline.com via our Apple tv box and tonight I watched the Almonds and Raisins episode. Her assistant Dot was wearing the Torchon lace collar which is very wide and flowing. I think I spotted another lace collar in an earlier episode but it could have been cutwork. This series is available until February 17th and if you have a Roku box or Apple tv you can get a month of free viewing. Great for expats as we are also watching Midsomer Murders and Doc Martin. Looking for more lace in future episodes. Janice <One of the Estonian commercial TV stations has been showing this series, which is based on the books written by Kerry Greenwood. There are 17 books altogether plus a short story collection, which I enjoyed listening to last year. Set in 1928-29 and very well researched. Tatting is mentioned in 2 of the books & surprisingly bobbin lace in only one. But I was pleased to see Ashleigh Cumming's character Dot Williams wearing a collar edged in tatted lace in the 4th Episode, as well as a simple Torchon lace collar in Episode 5 -"Almonds and Raisins" & Episode 6 -"Ruddy Gore".
