Re: [lace] Advent Calendar competition results
Hello all Arachneans, What a marvellous surprise to be one of the winners! I am really excited about it!I Thank you very much Jean and David not only for the price, but also for the kindness in making the Advent Calendar for all lacers every year. I really enjoy taking part in in, although I realize that last year's calendars have been much more difficult than this one's! This year's calendar has been really interesting, because looking for the good answer, we have been able to see all the stamps from everywhere. Although the first Spanish stamp was not a stamp specially about lace, for us Spaniards it is a very known stamp. In fact I used to collect stamps when I was young, and I have part of this collection about the regional dresses of all our provinces. I had an advantage in this case! So thank you very much again, and to all Arachneans: have a very happy new year, lacing and learning more and more! Greetings from Antje, in Guadalajara, Spain PD. I have finally managed to put most of my web site into English. So, if you want to have a look at it, and know a small part of what is made in Spain... the web site's name is written above. http://antje.gonzalez.iespana.es/ - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I add my thanks to Jean and David for the Advent Calendar. I managed to get them all right with a lot less hair tearing than last year, when I couldn't get the answer to one of them. This year, the first one (Spain) was the one which caused me a problem. But I thought the part of the letter S visible on the left edge looked very much like the S in pesetas on Spanish stamps. Googling Spanish costume stamps confirmed it. It's always great fun. Thanks.
