Dear Bobbin Lace Makers, I'm trying my best to finally sell-off the remainder of bobbin lace making items I've had in my possession for years and hopefully you'll find items that you'd like to welcome into your collection and home. I'd like to have everything sent to new happy homes by year end (December 31, 2015).
All items were lovingly used and cherished by my mother who was a lace maker, teacher, demonstrator, and collector for 20+ years. She was one of the first students in Le Puy France and has been deceased for for over 20 years now (funny how long it sometimes takes us to get things off to new homes). First and foremost - my goal is to get these off to happy new homes - DO NOT get deterred by the prices listed - they were put up a few years back based on researching and trying to speak with actual bobbin lacemakers who gave thoughts on price (hard to know when it was right). Anyway - ALL item pricing is negotiable!!!! Do not be shy to make offers and we'll agree on a price as I am determined to clear everything out before the end of the year. Figuring out reasonable pricing & all is time-consuming and challenging to say the least. Feel free to forward this link to fellow lace makers, collectors, or other lace making group contacts you have, however I ask that you not list my personal information without my permission. Please e-mail me and include a contact phone number (if you are in the US or Canada) and Ill get in touch with you to let you know whether I still have what youre interested in and what it will cost to ship to you. I have previously shipped items to Malta and Australia and all over the USA. Here's the link to the albums with items I still have for sale (I have a few items I was going to keep myself and may post them in the coming weeks - a travel pillow, some fancy bobbins...): <http://www.slickpic.com/users/DanielleHoren/gallery/>http://slickpic.us/4832 91MNNw There are 6 main albums with photos and descriptions (and within the bobbin album there are sub-albums). When you get to the site - 1) click on the category you want (ie - bobbins, threads...) then if there are subfolders they will show up and you can click on the one of interest (ie Midland Spangled, Continental,...). 2) When you get into the album - click the first photo on the top line. You'll find the picture title in the bottom left of your screen this is where the item# is and the pricing. Just below it will be a description For Ex: length of bobbin and other descriptive information. I apologize, but I have no control over the size of the text on the slickpic site. When you get to the main gallery page using the link above click on an album and then in the upper right of your screen you'll see an eye icon. Mouse over the eye and a drop down list will show up. Click either the Journal View or the Highlight View as these two views will show you the full descriptions for each photo (though you should be able to find all the description somewhere on any of the views. Many of the items listed have multiple views so if you find items you're interested in just jot down the item # or description that shows before the price. If you are interesed in purchasing items - 1) Make a list of what you want and then e-mail me (include Item # and price ex. WMS-12 $14 2) Give me your Name & full mailing address & phone # if in the US (so I can calculate shipping charges or contact you with any questions) 2) I will e-mail you a total along with shipping pricing/options 3) Once we're agreed on totals then you can send payment via PayPal (I will give you my acct # at that point) 4) I will ship your purchase. I will make the shipping as streamlined and economical as possible - and I'll let you know my recommendation. 5) I do ship overseas and will give you options - if you know of a less expensive method to ship to you please let me know. I fulfill orders on a 1st come basis - for example if two people e-mail me wanting the same item I will sell to the 1st e-mail received and I will let you know if someone else has dibs on something you wanted. E-mail me and include a phone if you have questions or run into any difficulty viewing the website. If you have other lace making contacts and wish to share the link with them please do so. If you plan to post my contact info. please get my permission first so that you can let me know where you're posting and what you're including. :-) Thank you for your interest and for keeping Bobbin Lace Making alive and well in the 21st century!
