[lace] Lacemakers in Leeds (UK)?
Hello to all, I am staying in Leeds from the 28th to the 31st of May and would like to know if there are any lacemakers from this group living there and if it would be possible to meet. It is always so nice to meet up and put faces to the names we usually only read. Looking forward to your answers... perhaps it is better to answer privately. Best wishes, Antje González ww.vueltaycruz.es https://www.etsy.com/shop/TwistAndCross - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Queen Victoria's wedding dress
Dear Spiders Thank you all so much for your quick and highly informative replies to my query about Queen Victoria's dress. I shall send a polite/educational email to the company in question, quoting snippets from information received. Also I shall tell them that even Kate Middleton's wedding dress was made of machine made lace and not handmade and pass on the link that Brenda sent me. I think we can close the book on this one now but thank you all very much. I'm off to Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire today to see the 'Lace 21' exhibition.

[lace] Re Lace Fairy
Dear Jeri, I'd just like to say a big thank you for your efforts on this, and the volunteer's. It is good to hear that Lori's marvellous site is going to have a future, not just via the wayback machine.

[lace] Batavia article on Archive.org
Hello Brian, I'd found the wayback machine http://archive.org/web/ as well, I was going to post about it and give an update on my bobbin search as it's been invaluable trying to track down recent retired bobbin makers. I've noticed that if you are lucky there are often a lot of different snapshots and if you try different dates you can luck out with images. The trick is to look at the timeline barchart when you first load a page, here's one which has eventually links to page that I think you are after?. (I'll post the page to you separately in case it's just me being lucky.) http://web.archive.org/web/20040203100701/http://lacefairy.com/http://web.ar chive.org/web/20040203100701/http:/lacefairy.com/ I think your and Diana's work is fascinating and invaluable.
