[lace] Arachne pin

2013-03-29 Thread Noelene Lafferty
I found my old Arachne pin a few days ago, took a photo, and finally figured
out how to upload to the Arachne flickr account.  I've put it in the Arachne
Anniversary set, I hope that's OK.

[lace] Arachne pin/brooch/badge on ebay

2008-04-14 Thread Jean Nathan
It's been pointed out to me that the seller of the Arachne pin on ebay will 
ship world-wide.


At the top of the listing it states: Post to: United Kingdom

but in the description: Will ship worldwide - please ask for details of 
costs outside the UK


I didn't read the whole description because I already have one.

Item number 250236237408

There's already two bids on it and the current price is £1.04.

Whenever I search for an ebay number given on Arachne, I always set the 
search location to worldwide because all ebay sellers list items on their 
native site and usually assume that worldwide buyers will look at it. We're 
all guilty (or I used to be) of assuming that, when searching for something, 
anything listed will be on our national site.


I now look at worldwide items, but no longer buy from the US or Canada as I 
recently bought four thinnish lace/sewing books, which didn't weigh much 
from Canada, for a total of USD43.88 and the airmail postage was USD48.99. 
So it looks like the UK Royal Mail isn't the only postal service which is 
making international purchases too expensive.

OUCH!

Jean, I suspect that the USPS is not responsible for that high shipping cost!  
Sounds more like a greedy eBay seller to me.  There seem to be a lot of them 
out there.

Fwd: [lace] Arachne pin badge

2007-11-29 Thread bevw
This was sent to me but meant for the list:

-- Forwarded message --

Hello All
Would it not be a great idea to revive this?
All us newbies, and those of you who have been on this list a lot
longer, could show
we belong to an ionternational club that keeps old crafts alive.

Agnes Boddington- Ellougthon UK

Bev responds:

Hi Agnes and everyone

 - yes someone could 'revive' the pin, perhaps make a different design
unless the person who originated it wants to take it on again - I won't
speak for them, and I don't think they are on the list any more. From
experience, trying to get a lapel pin made and sold is work and expense,
usually having to spend money, up front, before the pins are sold, and
likely having to place a minimum order of one or two hundred pins. But, if
someone is handy with that sort of thing and wants to take it on.?
anyone?

A cheaper alternative is to make an arachne lace badge :)
There are patterns floating around if someone can recall where.


Hi Sue and everyone
IIRC it was initiated on this list about 10 years ago.
I had to hunt a bit for it with the number you gave - it is at the ebay UK
site. Tinied, here:

[lace] Arachne pin - UK

2007-03-08 Thread Laceandbits
Malvary and I got ours from Roseground Lace Supplies, I think at the Bristol 
Lace Guild AGM which is a couple of years ago.  At that time she had maybe two 
or three left, but I did tell some other members she had them so they may all 
be gone.  It would be worth a phone call or e-mail to find out.

[lace] Arachne pin looks like..

 What does the Arachne pin look like?  

The Arachne pin is a rectangle about 22mm x 24mm that
has a red circle filling most of it and the words
lace@arachne.com across the bottom.  The background is
dark blue.  On the red circle is a spider web and
spider in gold with the spider's body in black.  The
words and edge outline are also gold.

I also remember JoAnn saying that she would not be in
charge of commemoratives this year, but I don't think
anyone else volunteered.  I haven't heard anything
about it since.  Our 12th anniversary is coming up on
April 12th.

[lace] Arachne pin and Commemoratives

2007-03-07 Thread Noelene Lafferty
I too think JoAnne said she wasn't going to do commemoratives this year, and
left it open for anyone else to step in.

There are quite a few of us who love to get their yearly commemorative
Arachne bobbin (or two).   I do hope some bobbin maker will step in and
offer to design and make them.  For me, it doesn't matter if there are no
extras like cover cloths and bobbin rolls, etc., but I really would like
my 2007 bobbin.

And incidentally, if anyone has one of the original year bobbins they would
like to part with, could they contact me please?   I missed out on that one

 Also, I don't think she was planning to distribute the commemoratives
 this year.  I could be wrong on that account, but that was the impression
 I got from her at one time.

[lace] Arachne pin

I know this should go to the lace chat site but I don't have an email 
address for that.


Outi from Finland wrote that she would be wearing her Arachne pin when she 
visits the Bowes Museum and Harrogate Lace Fair. I wondered what that was 
and does someone sell them.


Also how do I post to the arachne chat list please?

I can't remember where I got my Arachne pin from - probably one year when I
bought an Arachne commemorative bobbin. Is there going to be one this year,
and if so, who will be making them?

To post to lace-chat, first subscribe to lace-chat by following the
