[lace] Seven Competition and Exhibition
We're now back from holiday and have posted the list of Award and Medal winners for the Seven competition on the Lace Guild website (URL in the signature).

You'll also find details of the Exhibition catalogue which has a complete list of everyone who entered, the title of each piece and a brief description of how it relates to the theme of 'Seven'.

[lace] thankyou for stain removal help
Dear all, I have summarized all your responses for my friend, and she is very grateful. At least she will be better prepared when next faced with such an accident and will think twice about decorating the table with unprotected heirloom lace. Many thanks for all your valued contributions. You are a great and knowledgeable bunch of people. Annette Meldrum in cold Wollongong Australia No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [lace] flooding in England,
I'm in the north of Kent - just across the River Thames from Essex, and we've not had abnormally high levels of rainfall. Yes it's been very wet, but nothing really unusual. Because last year was so dry the ground is still able to soak up water. Terry is still walking the dogs across the marshes wearing shoes/trainers rather than wellie boots. After a really grey and wet day yesterday, today is beautiful, a blue sky with puffy white clouds, a gentle breeze and around 22 deg C.

Re: [lace] flooding in England,
Hi All, We have had my parents staying with us for a few days,a nd they wandered off to one of their favourite places on Sunday afternoon - they went to Altonm Water, a reservoir just outside Ipswich, in Suffolk, and said they had never seen so many tents being erected, rows of toilets, and all sorts of other marquees. They said it was to do with a Scouting event of some description, so I wonder if this is it - or whether the event at Alton Water is a sort of 'over-spill' to the main event? We are about a two-hour drive from London, but thankfully, we are supposedly in one of the driest areas of GB - although we have had far more than our share of rainfall this summer, we have not been flooded, and the reservoir is picturesque - and large - in the extreme.So - I do hope all the scouting fraternity will enjoy themselves, and thank God tthat we are relatively unscathed with the awful flooding.

Just one more evening for me to spend proofreading!

Re: [lace] IOLI Membership Message
Dear Laurie, ooops. I sent my renewal through Paypal as well. I'll bet you get quite a few this way If this method isn't working for the membership committee, there is the option to send refund through Paypal for a good month or so without penalty. I added all the info from the membership form to the comments section. I hope it works out to be convenient. Its very easy and instant for Paypal users. It looks like lacemakers are all Eager Beavers and Overachievers no holding us back when we find a shortcut. :)Kate Henry Indiana USA ~~~ Well I just paid my dues via paypal, the account was there and the money withdrawn. I don't think I can call it back. I put my member number and name in the comments section. They're going to get a crash course in this, I'm afraid. The feature is there, maybe they just weren't going to use it yet.

Re: [lace] IOLI Membership Message
It is quite ok to send your renewal through Paypal - I did mine and sister Jacquie's this morning. I had e-mailed Laurie first a few days ago just to make sure and got the confirmation back. I thought I had done it that way last year (and I had). You just complete the membership form and then e-mail that to Laurie then go into Paypal to send the appropriate amount and put [EMAIL PROTECTED] into the space provided. I put our membership numbers into the comments space because they were renewals.

Here's a link to the post: http://lost-arts.blogspot.com/2007/07/here-be-dragon.html My guess about the technique would be Brugge/Duchesse, which doesn't necessarily mean that it was made in Brugge; there are a lot of lace pictures made by American Indians (late XIXth-early XXth c), which share many characteristics with yours. BTW, I agree with whoever-it-was (my wretched memory won't let me recall the name) who said it was not a dragon but a Salamander. The fire/rebirth idea is not limited to phoenix and salamander's mythological affinity to fire has a long tradition, especially in the Christian imagery (that fiery cluster is also reminiscent of Christ's heart in many paintings I'd seen in Poland). Besides... Most dragons have wings, and this critter doesn't :) -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I tend to think of myself as not being much into workshop homework but have noticed that, wherever there's an option of working past the normal hours (I am *definitely* not someone likely to show up *before* the normal hours g), I tend to grab it and get much more done as the result. I just don't like to haul all my equipment back and forth between the room and the classroom and don't like to work in the room (cramped, bad light, et al). -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Or - you could swing the whole entreprise to one renewal time only, a temporary headache, but in the long run easier to administer I should think VBG Once-a-year, always-same-date renewal is what IOLI *used to* have; they switched to the 4-times-a-year (magazine rather than guild-membership style) only a year or so ago. With the guild-membership type of subscription, if you happen to join the organization close to the end of its subscription year, you get 4 issues, of which 3 are way out of date and may not be of interest. And, to rub the salt into the wounds... as soon as you get your first *current* issue, you also get a renewal slip for the new year. At which point, you may be so disenchanted with the scam, you toss the renewal form into the nearest trash can (or into your paper-recycle bag). Most of the IOLI old timers still have their renewal date at the same time as they've always had it -- June/August. But the new arrivals vary; their subscription starts with the nearest *current* issue. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
