Another big lace auction at Drouot in Paris, March 7th. Just wrote it up on LaceNews at http://tinyurl.com/k7ljfm4. Lots of good lace auctions in Paris lately, and prices are rising.

[lace] More Milanese!
I really enjoyed reading Elizabeth Kurella's piece about 3-dimensional
Milanese lace - I saw a few examples of it some years ago (I think it might
have been in Como?) and found it fascinating.
Over the years since then, those memories have inspired me to work
3-dimensionally, when appropriate, in some of my own designs. ('Les Fees
Vertes' and 'The Bamboo Grove' are small collections where some of them
feature.) I'm even working a Milanese piece with 3-D at the moment...
When I go to Sweet Briar in June this year, I shall be teaching 3-D in
Milanese to at least one person there, though they don't yet realise it -
however, they do now! (Aaargghhh, panic...It's headless chicken time!)
I shall certainly be looking out for the 3-D examples in the Sweet Briar
College collection! Thank you so much Elizabeth, for mentioning them. How
exciting!

[lace] Black silk thread/Books
I put all the names in the hat and went over to my neighbor to take out the winner's name. The winner is Janice Blair. Miriam What a lovely surprise. Thank you Miriam. I wrote privately with my address. I am hoping I might be able to use the black silk for my convention class of Ipswich with Karen Thompson this August in Sacramento. I managed to get a new copy of The Laces of Ipswich by Marta Cotterell Raffel from Abe Books for about $8 including shipping. I got another copy for my friend who is also taking the class. These came from Powell's in Chicago so they didn't have far to come. At the same time I ordered a used hardback of Colour and Texture in Needlelace by Ros Hill for $5 with no shipping charges. How can they do it so inexpensively.
