These look like some I have that are plastic - got them many years ago to

Celluloid? Nah - my vote is plastic..

Dear Fellow Arachnes,
My husband is attending a conference in Santiago de Compostela, Spain next
week and I was wondering if there are any shops that sell lace or
lace-related items. Originally I thought I would accompany him but it
didn't work out (too much money and other opportunities aros
Something which was said a couple of months ago bears repeating: If you
can't resist buying a lot of heavy books in Denver, it is far more
economical to make a trip to the shopping center across the way and ship
the books home via book-rate postage. You may have to wait a few days to
get them, bu

A green card is not required for visiting the States. A green card is
necessary if you intend to live here. You can apply for a visa to work in the
US. When arriving at an airport the immigration officer usually asks "Business
or Pleasure". Surely the answer for a lace teacher is "Pleasure"
An ATM card is the bestwe call them ATM cards in the US, it's the card
you can take to an automatic teller and get cash, most double as a credit
card. there you have the best of both worlds...but a word of

However, travelers, keep in mind that not all lace suppliers can accept
credit cards. Small businesses can't afford the credit card charges,
which can be as much as 75 cents per transaction.

Another option is to use an ATM (automatic teller machine) card. My bank
does not charge fees for out of system use. If the slips are saved and given
to a teller the bank also reimburses all other charges. Easy way to get cash
daily. I also got a very good exchange rate when in Europe.

I think they were designed by Margaret L. Brooke. That would be

To add to the advise given. Also weight your suitcase before you start
packing. I have a suitcase which is large enough to put my frame in it when I

Hi Liz,
Whenever I go to the USA (to a casino occasionally) they ask if I have more
than $10,000. with me. There is also a big sign posted that anything more

into Canada. (I wish I was bringing home $10,000). So I thi
