I was glad to read Jacquie's message that she is happy for the UK Lace magazines to be passed on. Some years ago I was given a pile of them from someone who was having to clear out a lot of stuff, and was kind enough to pass them on to me, knowing they were going to a good home! What a waste if they had gone to the tip!
They are dated well before I joined the UK Guild, and I treasure them - as not only are they useful magazines, but they are a nice remembrance of a lacemaker who is now, sadly, no longer with us. I cannot see any harm in passing on magazines, or books, that are no-longer of use. Much better than throwing them away. I have been able to purchase some 2nd hand lace books that are out of print, and have been for many years, from the Guild table at Lace Days. Not only does it help the Guild, but helps us Lacemakers, too, as many of the books are not in our Guild library, so we are unable to borrow them. Often they are from deceased estates, and the family know they have been used with love. It pleases them to know the books can be of help to someone else.
