I remember hearing that sol/Teneriffe crossed the Atlantic to South America by ship, the makers being ships' sailmakers and Hi Leonard That is how I understand it. There is an excellent account of the history of Teneriffe lace in - Hispanic lace and lacemaking by F.L .May, Hispanic Society of America 1939 and other historical information in my book came from a friend who had studied history.

Re: [lace] lace photos
Hi Arachnids, Thank you for that link Lorelei. I have just spent a very pleasurable time looking at the marvelously diverse and beautifully executed laces from many different places. Exquisite! Happy lace making. Joepie, East Sussex, UK Cold for the time of the year, but DRY today. We have even seen the SUN ( you remember; that glowing red/orange ball in the sky that makes life so much more enjoyable :-D). -Original Message- From: Lorelei Halley Sent: Saturday, March 30, 2013 10:11 PM To: lace@arachne.com Subject: [lace] lace photos This album has a lot of marvelous bobbin lace.

[lace] Fw: Julie Andrews Turning 79
A friend sent this to me.it's what we all need to cheer us up. Sheila in dull and cold Sawbo' - *Subject:* *FW: Julie Andrews Turning 79 * This is funny!But if she is 79, she’s looking pretty good I reckon. JULIE ANDREWS *Julie Andrews Turning 79 - this is hysterical! * *To commemorate her birthday, actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan 's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP. One of the musical numbers she performed was 'My Favorite Things' from the legendary movie 'Sound Of Music'. Here are the lyrics she used: * *(Sing It!) - If you sing it, its especially hysterical!!! * *Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting, Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings, Bundles of magazines tied up in string, These are a few of my favorite things. /Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses, Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses, Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings, These are a few of my favorite things. / When the pipes leak, When the bones creak, When the knees go bad, I simply remember my favorite things, And then I don't feel so bad. /Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions, No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions, Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring, These are a few of my favorite things. / Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin', Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin', And we won't mention our short shrunken frames, When we remember our favorite things. When the joints ache, When the hips break, When the eyes grow dim, Then I remember the great life I've had, And then I don't feel so bad. (Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores. Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humor with others who would appreciate it.)* - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Lace and bad eyesight
Hi my fellow lacemakers, It's a long long time, I did not write anything, but I'm staying loyal to the group reading every day, your wonderful messages. A few years ago, I lost my right eye sight, following a dental surgery and I had to quit lacemaking. I sold a part of my bobbins, but I still have my pillows. Perhaps one day, I will sell them also, but it's still hard for me to accept the situation. So, when I read your message about the blind lady, that's very encouraging. However, I could not do the step to restart lacemaking. I hope I followed the rules of messages publishing on the group.
