Thank you Barbara for adding Madame Goubaud to my reading list. Surely I will be better prepared for the next demo at a historical home, of which there are many in Western Pennsylvania & Northeastern Ohio! We had a good turnout yesterday in Niles, OH in spite of the intermittent downpours. The Ward Thomas house is decorated in period style with many original furnishings & memorabilia from the two families. This included a gown worn by one of the occupants when she attended Alice Lee Roosevelt's White House wedding to Mr. Longworth. It was ivory & featured princess lace & medallions of metallic embroidery. Our group was seated in the library where W. Aubrey Thomas, a member of Congress, met with his constituents in the early 1900's. In addition to needle lace, we demonstrated tatting, Irish crochet, Bedfordshire lace & lucet cording. Some patrons even recognized what we were making & would like to learn! We hope to see some of them at our program sponsored by the lib! rary next month. Again, thanks to all to lent a hand on the history side! Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA
