[lace] Honiton lace shop
I was in Honiton a year or so back, spent a weekend there. I thought I wrote a posting to Arachne, but maybe not. The lace shop was definitely closed, very little traces of it. The museum was open, just winding down for the season at the time, and well worth a visit. Lots to buy in the shop! It's a lovely little town to spend time wandering around - lots of nice cafes (but surprisingly little in the way of accommodation), lace and other murals on exterior walls and very pretty countryside.

Re: [lace] Honiton lace shop
I went many many years ago and was distressed to see they took large pieces of lace apart to sell in smaller sections.

Re: [lace] Honiton lace shop
I was in Honiton earlier this year and the Lace Shop is now a Chinese restaurant. :o( All that's left is the words carved into the stonework of the building and a plaque on the wall with a very brief history.

RE: [lace] Honiton Lace Shop and accommodations Honiton
Devon DH and I stayed outside Honiton last summer. Sadly the shop is closed and the premises are now a restaurant. There is another shop a few doors down which disappointingly only sells a few old bobbins and a few pieces of lace already made, all of which are rather pricey . The Allhallows Lace Museum is however well worth a visit and they sell a few basic items for Honiton lace making and some patterns. During the summer they also have ladies demonstrating Honiton lace making. I cannot advise on accommodation though. We stayed in a caravan park up in the hills outside the town. Ruth I sent an email to the site listed as that of the Honiton Lace Shop, but did not receive a reply. Does anyone have any up to date information about this business? I gather that the shop in Honiton was closed. My impression is that the restaurant with a lace theme that was planned, does not seem to exist. I get the impression that the lace operation was moved to a farm or barn outside of town. But, I am at a bit of a dead end, because I am not sure that there is anything left of this business to visit. Also, has anyone stayed in Honiton or near by? Our hotel search is not going well. We are not going in high summer. However, it would appear that the accommodations in the area are largely oriented to people on self catering holidays who are staying for a week. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
