Dear Sylvie, 20 to 22 years ago, the OIDFA Congress was held in Finland, and Rauma lace was featured. Please, if someone attended, perhaps they can help. Sylvie, you need to try to get to a lace guild's library that contains OIDFA bulletins for the period about 1993 and after - (the 2 to 3 years prior to the Rauma OIDFA Congress). There will be Rauma articles in the bulletins. You can also do a Rauma Lace search via your computer. There will be a Lace festival there at the end of July 2016, per private correspondence I received just today. If you want lace books, go to the IOLI web site's Library. The second listing of books is alphabetically by Author's names. All the books by Eeva-Liisa Kortelahti that are available for members to borrow will be listed there. It is possible some of Kortelahti's books are available for purchase from Barbara Fay. _www.barbara-fay.de_ (http://www.barbara-fay.de) This book business is located in Germany and they speak perfect English; easy to order from. Barbara is deceased. Her daughter, Dagmar is the person with whom I now do business.
