I've added two pictures to my Flickr page. One is a small sample lace piece, from the same collection as the Old Ripon, a pretty edging with an unusual ground.
The second pictures is of the Hollie Point sampler which was a very lucky find on eBay. It was amongst a collection of odds and ends of lace, I could see it but didn't realise what a find it was. In the top right hand corner there are initials, one possibly an 'M', below that the date 1773 can easily be seen. There are various crowns and other designs. It is mounted on a piece of very faded pink silk material. I hope you find them interesting and worth discussing.
