[lace] Old postcard

[Patricia Runcie]

I have been sent an old postcard of bobbin lace being sold.  On the back it
says:


"Bobbin made laces for sale, 1950.

"Spania Dolina, Slovakia, Czechoslovakia"


the photo ia by Frnatisek Kalesny


The picture shows a mass of women with three in the front each holding up a
piece of lace.  One is a rectangular mat, one is a rectangular 'frame'
presumably made to edge a piece of linen or cotton material and the third
seems to be a rectangular mat but is definitely much longer than the first
one.  All seem to be Torchon.  There is lots more lace flat on the
stall/counter but design cannot be distinguished.

Re: [lace-chat] IT email help

[Patricia Runcie]

Hi David


I'm a fairly new user of Outlook and on my Pc Cc and Bcc are at the right hand
end of the address line when the 'forward' box is opened.


What I don't know what to do, I've just discovered, is how to trim posts.  I
cannot delete your message as I could with Aol.  If this turns out to consist
of several messages my apologies and I won't use 'reply' to the list again.

Dear Friends,

After more than 20 years I was recently forced to move from Eudora to
Outlook for my email programme. It's working OK but I can't seem to see how
to forward a BCC (blind carbon copy). I can do the CC all right but this
exposes everyone else's email addresses. Surely there must be a way?
thanks for any suggestions

David in Ballarat, AUS

[lace] Self publishing

[Patricia Runcie]

I'm making this enquiry on behalf of a person on a local history Facebook
page.  Can British lacemakers who have self published recommend a good web
site, please?

Is the link broken?  I haven't been able to access the ornaments today.  Not a
techie here so I have no idea what I have done since I last visited the site!
The link published on Arachne does not work for me.  When accessing Jenny's
site directly from Google, there is no category for the ornaments, just 2016
bookmarks.  Will an expert please help?  Many thanks.  Sincerely, Susan Hottle

[lace] Missing mails

[Patricia Runcie]

I am another one who no longer receives Jeri's contributions - and i changed
my email in an effort to improve things.  Outlook seems to want to put most of
arachne email into spam - which I correct - and even if it doesn't many
messages come with "warnings" which are quite safe to ignore after all these
years.  I have also noticed recently that some come through without lace or
lace-chat in the heading.

[lace] Spam mail

[Patricia Runcie]

today I received an email headed:   [Lace]some nice things for you  from:

I looked at although I hadn't seen that sender before and it directed me to
what sounded like a porn site.

[lace] Christmas card exchange

[Patricia Runcie]

Christine Springett also has a book called Lace for children of all ages which
has lots of Christmas patterns as well as others.  Each pattern also comes
with step by step instructions - brilliant for a beginner.

[lace] Lace survey results

[Patricia Runcie]

Were these posted to Arachne?  I've seen a response to them from Agnes but
haven't seen the survey results at all.

Re: [lace] ADMIN: Survey Request - please send privately

[Patricia Runcie]

I'm not on the digest form but I found it boring to see replies saying 1B, 2C
or any other combination of numbers and letters.  It has always been the
convention that replies to a survey are made direct to the person carrying it
out.  Having said that, even if I don't participate in the survey I am usually
interested in seeing the result.


Just think about the Christmas card, bookmark exchanges and such like.  Those
wishing to participate always respond directly to the organiser.  the rest of
the list finds out who participated either through 'thank you' messages or by
looking at the photographs on Jenny's web page.

Helen and others,

I doubt that the data could be used for nefarious purposes. I also
wouldn't describe Anna's response as "animosity". She says she was
annoyed with the individual responses and that's a legitimate comment.
I don't participate in surveys myself, so I had no interest in the
outcome, whether on-list or off-list.

My objection was to the three digests filled with survey answers. If a
handful of people responded on the list and if their responses were a
couple lines long, I would have no objections. What I was seeing,
however, was 25+ lines per response. Our digests are only 10K. It's
not a lot of fun to scroll through pages of previously seen material.

OTOH, maybe I should stop enforcing the "Trim posts" rule. What do
digest subscribers say? Please reply to me privately, if you have any
thoughts one way or the other.

Thanks,

Avital

Dear Antje,
The person to ask is Jean Leader, who lives in Glasgow, and therefore is in
a position to really know.  There are probably others, but I don't know
them.  lrb

Hello Scottish lacefriends.

Next week I am going on holidays to Scotland. I would love to see some
lace: lace group, lace exhibition, lace in a museum, a lacemaker interested
in showing what she does... or whatever.

Have you made a trip before and can tell me something? I would appreciate
any information very much!!

Best wishes and have a nice summer!!

Antje González, in a very hot Spain.
