The folders of labels are held in the Librarian's Office at The Hollies
and I'm sure anyone who wishes to see them only has to ask.... There
are, I think, around 20-30 A4 lever-arch files full. (I can't remember
if there were 100 labels per file or more). They were created from the
lace sent in for the Lacemakers' Census a few years ago, and many of the
3,000 plus labels were photographed and included in Lace magazine, over
a number of years - from issue 115 in 2005 to 130 in 2008, so if you
have access to these magazines via your Guild's library you don't even
need to visit the Hollies to see them! A book "Sixteen Patterns from The
Lacemakers' Census" (I think that is the title) was published at the
time, and is still available from the Guild. Being on the Guild's Exec,
I hope no-one thinks I'm advertising by mentioning this. The book should
also be available through other suppliers.
I've trimmed the original message, but for some reason the signature
lines became invisible in the quote below, so if they show back up when
it posts to the list I apologise. I will go back into edit before it
posts, and see if I can prevent any bits that shouldn't be there from
getting through, but this could explain why a couple of times lately
I've thought I've trimmed all the unwanted bits off until I've had a
message back from Avital!

Our lace groups in BC Canada sent luggage labels. We have wondered where
they ended up and whether one can see them?
e.g. if visiting in England.
