I always feel more secure if I ask (& pay for) a 'return receipt' card. Then
you have a receipt and signature of who signed for the package. Can't
remember just how much it is $1.50 or so.
You can do this with or without insurance.

The Anna Torchon band I found was a simple design,
used 33 pairs of bobbins and 15 g of Nel linen 50/3,
plus a pair for gimps and some 15/3 linen gimp.

Thankyou so much for alerting us to this lovely piece. I also recommend

I don't think it's appropriate to value a piece of recently-made
handmade lace by x-dollars times the hours it took to make it. You
wouldn't price a painting according to how long it took the painter
to spread the paint over the canvas. Nor would you necessarily price
