Every once in a while I log on to E-bay to kill some time and maybe, just maybe, find something worth while in the antique lace section. Well today there was one heck of a buy ..a pair of âantique Plains Indian lace bobbin toolsâ that can be yours for a mere $300 US (free shipping). I actually laughed out loud. Neither bobbin was particularly special.. bog standard bone Beds. One had some carving and the other a rather badly executed coloured decoration consisting of both âtigersâ (stripes) and âleopardsâ (spots) ... unusual to find both on the same bobbin. They definitely werenât anything to do with Plains Indians ... ever. The rest of the web-site was given over to lot loads of rusty hammers, rolling pins, old flour sacks etc.. It is alarming to think that there just may be some gullible person out there who would fall for this sort of ignorance or dishonesty, wish something could be done about it. In the meantime, I did have a good laugh :) Sharon, on wet (still) Vancouver Island
