[lace] Mounting finished lace, thank you all!

[Sally Jenkins]

Dear Knowledgeable Ones,

I daresay we are all learning things we didn't know about mounting lace!
You've convinced me I do need to spend the time to actually sew the lace
onto suitable fabric, and to use archival materials, and to not let lace
touch the glass! I will go and un-mount a couple of pieces right away!

Many, many thanks for all the thoughtful replies, book suggestions, and
links. We will all be better for this.

Thank you,
Sally in Oregon, where it was nice enough for a brisk bicycle ride this
afternoon

[lace] Bobbin Lace Items for Sale - All Pricing FULLY Negotiable

[S Danl]

Dear Bobbin Lace Makers,


The link below has everything I'm looking to clear out and whatever price is
listed can be tossed off and you may make your offers on the list of items
you're interested in acquiring. Everything is looking to go to a new bobbin
lace making home or collection home. DO NOT be deterred by any prices listed -
at this point it is too much work to change everything so I'm open to you
making your kindest reasonable offers to get this items.


If you have any difficulties or have specific questions please e-mail me:
sdan...@hotmail.com (that is a lower case "L" before the #22)


All items were lovingly used and cherished by my mother who was a lace maker,
teacher, demonstrator, and collector for 20+ years. She was one of the first
students in Le Puy France and has been deceased for for over 20 years now
(funny how long it sometimes takes us to get things off to new homes).


I will start the long arduous process of E-Bay/Etsy listing soon if I can't
sell direct to you all.

Feel free to forward this link to fellow lace makers, collectors, or other
lace making group contacts you have.


Please e-mail me and include a contact phone number (if you are in the US or
Canada) and I’ll get in touch with you to let you know whether I still have
what you’re interested in and what it will cost to ship to you. I have
previously shipped items to Malta and Australia and all over the USA.

Here's the link to the albums with items I still have for sale (I have a few
items I was going to keep myself and may post them in the coming weeks - a
travel pillow, some fancy bobbins...):

http://slickpic.us/4832
91MNNw

There are 6 main albums with photos and descriptions (and within the bobbin
album there are sub-albums).


When you get to the site -
1) click on the category you want (ie - bobbins, threads...) then if there are
subfolders they will show up and you can click on the one of interest (ie
Midland Spangled, Continental,...).
2) When you get into the album - click the first photo on the top line.

You'll find the picture title in the bottom left of your screen this is where
the item# is and the pricing (which again is obsolete). Just below it will be
a description For Ex: length of bobbin and other descriptive information.

I apologize, but I have no control over the size of the text on the slickpic
site.

When you get to the main gallery page using the link above click on an album
and then in the upper right of your screen you'll see an eye icon. Mouse over
the eye and a drop down list will show up. Click either the Journal View or
the Highlight View as these two views will show you the full descriptions for
each photo (though you should be able to find all the description somewhere on
any of the views.

Many of the items listed have multiple views so if you find items you're
interested in just jot down the item # or description that shows before the
price.


If you are interesed in purchasing items -

1) Make a list of what you want and then e-mail me (include Item # and price –
ex. WMS-12 $14

2) Give me your Name & full mailing address & phone # if in the US (so I can
calculate shipping charges or contact you with any questions)
2) I will e-mail you a total along with shipping pricing/options
3) Once we're agreed on totals then you can send payment via PayPal (I will
give you my acct # at that point)
4) I will ship your purchase. I will make the shipping as streamlined and
economical as possible - and I'll let you know my recommendation.

5) I do ship overseas and will give you options - if you know of a less
expensive method to ship to you please let me know.

I fulfill orders on a 1st come basis - for example if two people e-mail me
wanting the same item I will sell to the 1st e-mail received and I will let
you know if someone else has dibs on something you wanted.


E-mail me and include a phone if you have questions or run into any difficulty
viewing the website.


Thank you for your interest and for keeping Bobbin Lace Making alive and well
in the 21st century!

May we send love, compassion, and healing light to all hearts that continue to
harbor destruction, intolerance, hatred, and violence.
