[lace] Devon Trolly lace
I have found out that the Devon Trolly lace will be on display at Fairlynch Museum, Budleigh Salterton from April until September. I am hoping to go and see this display, not only for the lace, but also to take a longer look at the museum as it was where my great grandfather was born. I only found this out from a cousin of mine who lives in the States just a few months ago..

Jean in Cleveland U.K. Dear Lacemakers, When the story of these laces first appeared on Arachne, I realized I had read the story elsewhere - most probably, in The Lace Guild's Bulletin. Perhaps people interested can look it up in their stash of Bulletins (from the U.K., or maybe your local Guild keeps them. It is a wonderful story, and illustrative of how easy it has been to lose periods of the history of lace and lacemakers. Please keep your eyes and opinions open when you have opportunities to save old laces. Perhaps you do not know a lot about old laces, but you have about 1,000 Arachnes to consult before the lace is relegated to trash or burning! They often look terrible before they have been cleaned up. Then, they can be very presentable. If every lace that was shoved in a dirty cardboard box or paper bag was destroyed, we would all be much the poorer for it. There is much to be learned from old laces, and we now have the opportunity to greatly magnify them to unravel their secrets.
