Re: [lace] Bonham's lace auction 21st January 2014
Good morning Annette Jeri Thank you for the link Annette and I've taken a quick look this morning. I don't recognise any of the items as having been part of the Spriggs collection but as I said earlier, I believed Dr Spriggs collection to be on permanent loan to the School and not belonging to Susan herself. When the school closed his collection was then moved to Rougemont House Exeter but I'm not sure if it's still there. The English Lace School at Rockbeare is where Marie and I first met all those years ago and have remained friends ever since. I also telephoned Roger yesterday afternoon but I guess he's probably spending Christmas with his sons and grandchild, but will try again in a couple of days time. I used to phone Susan every Sunday morning during her final weeks and she was always so 'up beat' and incredibly brave. Both she and Roger worked tirelessly to keep the school going and as Jeri said, it was quite a leap of faith on their part to open a residential lace school. Students came from all over the world and there was always such a warm welcome and homely atmosphere at the school. Ah, happy days!

Marie had a Christmas Card from Roger, Susan's husband with the details of the auction in case she wanted to view it online. Marie spent Christmas with us, so while she was here, I searched Bonham's under the sale date Roger gave and then 'searched within' for 'lace'. I came up with 5 pages of lace items: lot numbers are between 309-355, some of which Marie recognised from her days of classes at the School. I have made a tinyurl to the items I believe are from the Lace School, part of Susan's personal Collection. http://tinyurl.com/lkbce8u - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] [lace-chat] Christmas Exchange
Ditto to most of what Sue says below:-) Also my card and lace arrived at my home this morning and is now proudly hanging on my red lace curtain amongst all the other amazing pieces from various lace exchanges, so all in good company and a pleasure to look at. She also added a card with an egg pattern on for me to work in the future plus a couple of pieces of antique lace so I will enjoy researching this a bit. This is a job I love doing before christmas, hanging up my curtain and adding all the lace pieces, remembering who sent them and trying to remember which year (that bit I fail miserably at, LOL). I think I did my first exchange in 2006 about a year after I joined Arachne. Thanks to Janet and Sallie So all the best to every one for 2014 and happy lace making. Sue T Dorset UK, also in the sunshine but chilly Dorset, the lull between the storms I think. -Original Message- From: Sue Duckles Hope you all had a brilliant Christmas and are looking forwards to the New Year.
