[lace] IOLI Magazine - Arrived

2021-07-23 Thread Janice Blair
Thanks for all the replies. It seems that delivery is very spotty and I was
happy to find I was not alone in waiting for the Bulletin. Today my DH brought
in the mail and tried to hide the fact that under the fliers was the magazine.
 I was anxious because it seemed ages since the online version was available
but can now do a happy dance.
Looking forward to tomorrow and the start of the IOLI Uncon.  Getting up for
7:00 am might be hard though, and luckily, I don't think I have to worry in
folks seeing me all bleary eyed as I do for my lace guild Zoom meetings held
in Illinois.

2020-06-06 Thread Malvary Cole

I got mine, in Canada.

However, I would suggest that anyone who hasn't received theirs should 
contact The Lace Guild directly.  They may decide that in view of the 
current situation, that they will want to wait another couple of weeks 
before sending replacements.


Malvary in a lovely sunny Ottawa where maybe next week it might be decided 
that hairdressers can think about opening sometime in the next month or two 
(already open across the border in Quebec - 2 km away).  It has been 5 
months and I am looking more and more like an old English sheepdog every 
day.

2020-05-21 Thread Elizabeth Ligeti
Hooray, - some decent reading for later on!!! The IOLI Bulletin has just
arrived, so mail is getting though, though slowly.
With everything closed – including Libraries, - Lockdown has been rather
boring!!
Thank Goodness for our Lacemaking!!!  At least we all would have had lots
to do – and even, perhaps, finished a few UFOs. (shock! Horror! 😊 )

We lost our “State Branch of the Guild” Librarian, early on in the
Lock-down, and had to watch the funeral on the computer. It was SO sad to see
her family – only 8 of them allowed, all sitting apart, due to regulations.
They needed to be together and hugging and supporting each other.  We will
miss her a Lot. She will be a “hard at to follow”.
She was always telling us to Finish what we were working on, so as a tribute
to her, we decided we would each finish a UFO in her memory!

I have found the discussion that Devon and others have been having on Lace
IOLI Identification and History has been fascinating. Thank you for all the
photos and information. Lace has such a complex, but wonderful, history, and I
am so glad there are people who can delve into it, and write it up for people
like me!!  Very Many Thanks.

Regards from Liz. L.
Melbourne, Oz,. – where it is getting Very close to winter, now!!!

Yes, the e-version is now available online. Unfortunately 5 pages don't
load fully. I've sent an e-mail to the Lace Guild asking if it can be
fixed. I'm assuming this is a problem at their end, not mine, but I'm not
really tech-savvy enough to know. Perhaps someone else who gets the
e-version could take a look at pp. 28-33 and tell me if the bottom of the
pages is missing for them too?

[lace] Lace (magazine) - and use of magazines for research

2018-04-26 Thread Jeri Ames
When my Post Office burned to the ground on Feb. 21, 2017, the only mail I
knew was lost were the end-of-January Lace magazine from England and a
PieceWork magazine.  Very rumpled sooty waterlogged copies were delivered to
me.  Certain magazines are so important to documentation of the present that
my guest bedroom has 20th - 21st C. publications in bookcases and boxes that
fill the room.   In this case, I went to a bookstore and replaced PieceWork,
and then phoned The Lace Guild in England to order a replacement, plus
calendars for the following year (gifts that are fun to give), and renewed
membership.  All in one call.  So fun to speak with someone in the office.
 
The bonus for lace scholars who visit here is that they sleep in the library,
surrounded by 4,000 + books that tell of the history of needlework in many
nations since the beginning of researched time.  It is a real celebration of
the talents of unknown and known women.  Guests probably have interesting
dreams.  At the least, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.  The librarian
here has read all the books that are in English.  Other languages are
represented and shelved by nation instead of author name.  Research goes much
faster when you have her experience to draw on.  
 
If you are a member of IOLI, there is a photo of my research library on page
33 in the Spring 2018 bulletin you just received.  It is in the article by
Jane Atkinson, of the U.K.  What a surprise!  Jane took pictures, but I did
not know how she would use them.  There are still many IOLI members who do
not know about this library, because they are not subscribed to Arachne, so
thanks for sharing, Jane.
 
NOTE:  If you are receiving this in a round-about way because my AOL and
Gmail and the Arachne server are not compatible and if you send me your Gmail
address, I will add it to my bcc list, so you can receive posts directly from
me.  Please tell me a little about your lace connection when you write.

Hello Jeri,

I am a member of the Executive Committee of the Lace Guild. If anybody
wants to contact the Exec Committee then holl...@laceguild.org is the best
way to do it as your question might be best answered by one of our paid
staff, somebody on the Museum's Committee or a member of Exec.

I hope that when I have been promoting the Guild it has been helpful to the
person I replied to (for example when somebody was looking for second hand
books).

The reason I asked people to let me know when they got their copy of Lace
was because I didn't think Arachneans wanted to get loads of messages from
people says 'Yes mine arrived on ' and it is easier to just hit [Reply]
to my post than remember to send an email to holl...@laceguild.org.

My email address is the one I use most and therefore the one I look at most
often, I am not in the process of collecting addresses, I have enough
clutter in my life already ;-)

As one who has promoted The Lace Guild to members of Arachne quite often,  
may I ask:  Are you associated with "Lace"?  If so, it would be nice  if The 
Lace Guild provided an official e-mail address to you.   (Your return

Re: [lace] Lace Guild Magazine Lost in Post Office Fire?

2017-03-02 Thread Malvary Cole
Jeri – I think you should probably wait a bit longer.  I only received my
copy last Friday, so they are still filtering through.

If your copy doesn’t arrive, can you claim anything from the post office,
after all it isn’t your fault that you are out of pocket nor should The Lace
Guild be either, come to that.

Malvary in Ottawa where we have snow again today after several days of balmy
spring weather.

[lace] Lace Guild Magazine Lost in Post Office Fire?

2017-03-01 Thread Jeriames
Has anyone in New England received this quarter's Lace yet?  It was  
received in New Jersey last week.   
 
You will recall my post office was destroyed by fire March 21st.
 
Need to know if a call to England, requesting a replacement copy, is  
necessary.

we don't have delivery on Saturdays.


Thank goodness I'm a proof reader, I have at least read it (more than once).

and our snowpack has gone down considerably - 17cm on one day alone.

I received the Lacemaking from the Lace Society yesterday, but haven't

the forms for the course I want at the Fringe and AGM in early April, and 
thanks to my sister Jacquie, I know they have got to The Lace Guild.

[lace] PieceWork Magazine - More Lace Fun - July/August 2014 Issue

2014-06-27 Thread Jeriames
Dear Arachne Members,
 
May/June 2014 was PieceWork magazine's annual Lace issue, so  imagine my 
surprise to receive the July/August 2014 issue and find mostly  lace!  (Wait a 
week for this to be delivered to book stores.)  If you  are far from North 
America and you are not a subscriber,  _www.Pieceworkmagazine.com_ (http://
www.Pieceworkmagazine.com)  will lead  you to free projects and a way to 
order back issues plus this one.
 
1.  On the cover are Irish crochet cuffs to make.  Instructions  accompany 
an article about an early 20th century linen duster (a coat worn over  
clothes to protect from dusty roads that were not paved at that time).  The  
duster belonged to Edith Graham Mayo, wife of one of the founding brothers of  
the Mayo clinic in the state of Minnesota.  It is interesting to see  how the 
crochet collar and cuffs were appliqued to a satin lining, then attached  
to the duster.  The author of this article is Mayo's great  granddaughter, 
Laura Esther Ricketts.
 
2.  Catherine of Aragon's influence on the development of blackwork  
embroidery on evenweave linen is told by Mary Polityka Bush.  From a  distance, 
this embroidery looks like black lace.  Instructions for a  project included.
 
3.  A graceful lacy compass rose shawl to knit - instructions  included, by 
Katrina King.
 
4.  Giant Bobbins, Cords, and the Franciscans (of Malta).  This  is most 
interesting research from Angela Peel.  Especially if you  ever met a chunky 
bobbin you could not identify.  The cords were  made to hold closed the 
brothers' habits.  Each cord has 3 knots,  representing poverty, obedience, and 
chastity.  Several antique cord stands  (with holes in center top) are 
shown.  The work was done standing, so the  stands are tall.  The technique is 
similar to Japanese kumihimo.   No instructions given.
 
5.  Honiton Lace - One of England's Loveliest Laces is a 6-page  article 
co-authored by Jo Ann Eurell (IOLI) and Laurie Waters (Lace News).   You 
will recognize that both correspond with us on Arachne.  Instructions  can be 
had in eBook format for a Honiton motif.  See 
_www.interweavestore.com/a-taste-of-honiton_ 
(http://www.interweavestore.com/a-taste-of-honiton)  
 
6.  A Chain of Netting by Rita Bartholomew (Rita taught this  technique 
to the New England Lace Group in 2013).  A generous 9 1/2 pages  are devoted 
to her Netting history and a bookmark project.  _www.knotsindeed.com_ 
(http://www.knotsindeed.com)  
 
7.  The rarely-made Yap lace is featured in a 5-page article with  
instructions, by Bart Elwell (IOLI).  Yap lace is a combination of crochet  and 
needle lace.
 
8.  Finally, a duo of knitting articles.  A) Icelandic sweater,  with 
instructions.  B) A Shoal of Ganseys - The Knitting Legacy of the  Fishing 
Community exhibition at Sheringham Museum, Norfolk, England, until  September 
10, 
2014.  Ganseys are sweaters worn by men while fishing.   
_www.sheringhammuseum.co.uk_ (http://www.sheringhammuseum.co.uk) One of the 
photos in 
magazine is of Herring Lasses Off Duty, knitting as they  walk along, in 
period 
costume.  This reminds of embroidered Panel 112  - Herring Girls, in The 
Great Tapestry of Scotland.

[lace] Lace Guild Magazine - Christine Johnson

2014-05-03 Thread Jill Harward
Dear Spiders,

 

My Lace Guild magazine arrived yesterday and I was over the moon to see the
pattern and working diagram of Christine Johnson's Medieval Garden and for
which Christine was awarded the John Bull Trophy for 'lace by a lacemaker
who is not a teacher'.

 

I just had to write to thank Christine, who I think is a member of Arachne -
she will not know me, I am generally a 'Lurker' but I felt compelled to
write to Christine for being so generous in submitting this pattern to the
magazine and the time spent originally working out a coloured diagram of the
technical drawing.  I first saw the photo of the finished lace on the back
of issue Number 151 and just 'drooled' over it and wished it was a pattern
available to us.

 

Well my wish came true as here it is, looking absolutely beautiful again in
the current issue.  I have been floundering a bit for the past five or six
months due to some sad family circumstances and doing a little bits on
pieces already on the go but none of them seem to pull me in to get
enthusiastic again.  All I keep saying to my friends is that I need
'inspiring' but had no idea what to do, that is until I opened the Lace
Magazine yesterday and Woo Hoo!  I cannot possibly do any justice to your
amazing piece Christine but you have spurred me on and at last I have found
my 'get-up-and-go' and diving into my cupboard for a spare pillow, bobbins
and thread!!  I cannot wait to get started J  I guess this is also giving
advance warning to Jacquie Tinch, our lace tutor just what I will be turning
up with in class - she is probably turning a nice shade of puce at the
thought - only joking Jacquie, she relishes a challenge!

 

That's it and all that is left is to say once again a huge thanks to
Christine for unknowingly lifting my spirits.

Re: [lace] Lace Guild Magazine - Christine Johnson

2014-05-03 Thread Anna Binnie
Christine is currently on a cruise and may not have email. She is on 
Arachne so she will get your message. In 'real life' Christine is a 
talented and generous lacemaker. She gave a wonderful presentation in 
February on the use of Gimps. The presentation was at a NSW Lace Day. 
She is going to give a lecture on her work on Tonder Lace at the NSW 
October Lace Day and in November will give us a 2 day workshop on gimps.


She acts as 'mentor' to most of us at the Epping Lace group. I wish 
there were more people like her!


As an aside, the NSW Lace Days this year are featuring our local lace 
researchers, we have had Barbara Ballantyne talking on Irish Crochet, 
Rosemary Shepherd on early laces. In June we will have Annette Meldrum 
talking on Boris lace followed by a workshop in August on Boris Lace, 
and Christine in October. We are blessed that some of the best 
researchers are locals!

The magazine arrived here yesterday. The renewal form is stapled into the
centre, so you can remove it without destroying the whole magazine!

Some great photos of lace...!!!  :)

Has anyone received their April 2013 copy of Lace?  
I only
re-joined the Lace Guild last year so not sure if the April issue is held back
these days so as to include a report on the Convention. Otherwise is there a
problem? - No mention on their website Stop Press or on the Facebook
page.

Overseas copies are posted out from The Hollies a few days earlier than 
the UK copies which, because of the quantity, are sent out via a mailing 
house - the timing of posting is such that everyone should receive their 
magazine on or as soon as possible after the publication date.

Publication date for April's Lace is 30th April, ie yesterday, so given 
the occasional vagaries of the postal system I don't count it as late 
yet (others might disagree!). You should get it within the next day or 
so, but if you haven't received it by 10th May either email or phone The 
Hollies (contact details are on the website at www.laceguild.org ).


What happens with the April magazine is that it has the renewal form in, 
so cannot be sent for printing until the members have decided the 
subscription rate for the new membership year, and with the AGM being in 
April it is a tight turn around for the printers and mailing house. 
(This meant having the renewal form ready before the AGM, so that if the 
recommended subscriptions were not passed it would only need a quick 
amendment before going to print, thankfully the new rates were 
approved!).


You will also have the Trustees Report and Accounts Summary with this 
magazine, and a spare membership form (as with the renewal form, these 
form the centre inserts) to pass on to a friend - we need new members! 
On the back of both of these forms you will find direct debit forms - 
the new year will see a reduction in subscriptions for those in the UK 
paying by this method, but we need to have the applications back by 31st 
May so that they can be processed before the renewal date of 1st July. A 
copy of the membership application form is available on the website.


Any reports on convention (we welcome submissions from members!) and the 
minutes of the AGM will be in the July issue - it would delay the April 
magazine far too much to attempt to include them then.

My Lace Guild magazine arrived today but DH didn't tell me.  I spotted the 
envelope after dinner and settled down for a read.  Imagine my surprise when, 
on 
page 21 there is a photo of my needlelace effort for the Lace Street.  I sent 
the photo I based the design on of my home along with a scan of the lace and 
Susan put a note in that it looks just like the real house.  Then, on page 30 
there is a design based on a Viking Stone from St.  Martin's Church in 
Kirklevington which is the small village in Cleveland, UK that I moved from to 
the US.  Imagine, there were lacemakers nearby and I knew nothing about them.  
I 
moved here in 1982 and didn't start making lace until 1993, Wow - 20 years ago!!
 
Anyway, now that I know how to get my photos on Flickr, I have added one of the 
Lester piece after I cut the bobbins off.  Looks like spaghetti lace.  And, now 
that the house has appeared in the magazine, I added that one for you all to 
see 
in my gallery on Flickr.  Thanks also again to Sue Babbs for the review of 
Lace8 
which I have now got to work on my Macbook in VirtualBox.

[lace] Lace magazine overseas packaging

2012-08-06 Thread Laceandbits
Dear overseas Lace Guild members!

As you know we had some issues with the mailings for the last membership 
year (now hopefully resolved) and we are pursuing this with the mailing house. 
 I know this is a long shot, but if any of you still have the packaging 
from any of the last year's issues of Lace (April 2012 back to July 2011), 
would it be possible for you to scan it and send it to she...@laceguild.org  If 
you can remember roughly when it arrived, that would be even better.

The only person who I thought to ask to do this is Malvary when her April 
issue arrived, and it clearly shows no airmail markings but now there is some 
dispute as to whether they were all sent the same way (very probably as 
they mostly took a long time to arrive) or whether hers is an anomaly that was 
sent surface mail by mistake.

Many thanks in advance, 
Jacquie in Lincolnshire

HI Sue,

We are at the hands of the postal service  when it comes to our
magazines. I am not sure how it works out side of the US. Here magazines are
considered 3 class mail so it sits in a bin  there is room on the planes.
First class has priority. Once it gets to the destination it can go through
customs and they sit there until customs clears them. I have mailed magazines
to Brazil and it has taken 4 months to get there. I think I could of walked
there faster. To mail a magazine first class for overseas is at least 3 times
the cost of the subscription. I wish I could give you a good suggestion but I
have none.

Hopefully they won't take us off the mailing list just

Tracking a parcel going to a different country means you do the tracking on
that country's postal website. I have had to explain the same thing to
companies in the US when they say they won't ship to Canada, because they
can't track it once it hits the border. Duh, I can, because I track it on
the Canadian side, not the US sideWhen I ship something to the US that
is trackable, I have to track it on the USPS website once it hits the
border. Now that most mail services have websites, makes it a lot easier to
track stuff.

Hi Malvary and Arachnids,

You are very welcome to it as we are about to grow gills. It is raining yet 
again. We had drought conditions and a hosepipe ban (which was only lifted 
on 1st July in my area) earlier this year, so I am sure your turn will come.


However, the rain gives us a good reason to make lace instead of doing the 
garden ;-)   So there is some sunshine despite the rain.


Happy lace making,

abated somewhat, but it has been very difficult for the people who live in the 
areas where the fires are the worst  the firefighters have had a very 
difficult time.  The worst part is that not only is nature causing
The fires both here in Wyoming and Colorado, but people are causing them too!!  
In Fuernsey, Wyoming near the very famous Orwfon Trail site  Signature Rock

Please accept the Guild's apologies for the long delay, and thank you

surface mail by the mailing house (which should not have happened), and 
they may not have been processed as quickly as we would have liked 
before posting - as you quite rightly say they should have been posted

surface mail, which tends to take around six to eight weeks. We 
discussed possible solutions to this problem at our Exec meeting last 
weekend and hopefully you will receive your magazines a lot faster from

end of this month, and we are well aware that there may be some late 
renewals!.

I think, if you can see the postage date on the label, it would be useful to 
send the date to The Guild.  Mine appeared to have been mailed in the middle 
of June.  I'm sure that the Guild would be interested to learn the mailing 
date if you can read it.


Malvary in Ottawa where it was only 32c today.  Going up to 34 tomorrow and 
36 on Saturday.  The heat is nice, BUT please, we need some rain.  Last rain 
was 3 weeks ago.  Can we have some of yours, U.K.?

2012-03-13 Thread hottleco
Hello All!  After returning from a quick trip to Wally-Mart where I was 
browsing in the periodical section, I was going to post about the Victoria 
magazine article on Irish lace--only to see that Jeri had beat me to it!  Sharp 
eyes, quick fingers in Maine!!  It's not deep reading, but there are some 
pretty pics including one of a young girl making lace with her grandmother.  To 
Sue, it sounds like Chicago is the place to be this week--what a thrill to have 
a booth at the Flower  Garden Show.  I hope you will be wearing your very 
spiffy apron!  Last week when I attended the Palm Beach Fine Craft Show, I was 
discussing the womensjourneysinfiber with another member of South Florida Fiber 
Guild when she let out a whoop!  Turns out she believes her artistic life 
changed when she met the gal who leads your group.  So--you just never know how 
influential you can be/become when you cross paths with other fiber artists.  
Such a small world after all.  Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Palm B!

[lace] Spring magazine reading

2012-03-11 Thread Jeriames
Our spiders have been very quiet, so I'm sending a long article to  inspire.
 
In the major book store chain here in the U.S., the magazine racks are  
situated near the in-store cafe.  Reading the magazines that are for sale  is 
encouraged.  Magazines are also available for free reading in public  
libraries, though probably not the British ones.  Below are some I just  found 
at 
BN.
 
The American magazine Sew Beautiful Anniversary Issue - 25 years of  
Spectacular Sewing!   My library has every issue of this magazine,  which 
features beautiful sewing techniques (hand and machine)  often featuring lace.  
This edition has the most popular garments  of the last 25 years, for 
christenings, small children of both sexes, girls, and  women (wonderful for 
inspiration).  Toward the back are some technique  articles on sewing 
lace-to-lace, 
lace to fabric, lace to entredeux, puffing,  gathered fabric to entredeux, 
shaped lace, plus some designs and  templates.  130 pages for $10, and worth 
every penny.
 
The American magazine Victoria - March/April.  This is a life style  
magazine, with beautiful/romantic fashions, homes, gardens, recipes,  etc.  My 
library has every issue of this magazine.  Do look  at the cookies on page 
35, which have had paper lace laid over them, and  then were sprinkled with 
confectioner's sugar.  Nice refreshments for  a lace guild meeting!  Of 
special interest is an 8-page article about  Ireland's linen and lace, starting 
on 
page 42.  $5
 
The British magazine Mary Hickmott's New Stitches  Issue 226 (my  library 
has most issues).  Has a chart for a 13th C. Norwegian stave  church of 
blackwork embroidery - looks like black lace on linen, pages  24-29.  For those 
who have been writing to us about the costuming in  the Downton Abbey TV 
series, there is an article on pages 46-7.   Some of the costumes were shown 
in Glasgow at a Creative Stitches   Hobbycrafts Show earlier this month 
(pg. 9).
 
The British magazine Stitch published by the British Embroiderers' Guild  
- February/March.  There are 2 magazines from this EG.  Embroidery  is by 
subscription, and Stitch can be a subscription or found on magazine  
racks.  This issue has an article called Mrs St Osyth Wood's Sampler Book,  by 
Chris Berry (a neighbor of our Jean Leader) which is very interesting,  
especially the white pulled-thread sampler, with many lacy leaves - all  
different, pages 12-15.  Pulled-thread work is a coarse version of Point de  
Dresden/Point de Saxe, which some go so far as to call lace (though it  has a 
foundation of evenweave fabric).  Our costumers must not miss the  4-page 
article about Monsieur Ollivier Henry, of Paris (pg. 50).  How does  he manage 
to 
create so many masterpieces?  Perhaps by living in a  18th C. home without 
modern distractions!  His focus on lavish period  details is remarkable.
 
All spiders - there are key names and titles in the above 4  magazine 
reviews.  You are encouraged to use your computer search  capabilities to 
follow-up.

On Saturday I took Antje and Pams new lace magazines to Norfolk
Lacemakers to a all day meeting.
They were very well received and looked through all day. Some of the
lacemakers took details about the books, so hopefully there may be some more
subscriptions.
The comment they most received was What lovely magazines all beautifully done
on lovely glossy paper  How lovely and colourfull  was another comment.

[lace] UK Lace Guild magazine

2011-11-05 Thread Jane Partridge

I have replied to Pene personally.

There is a difference in the posting/delivery times for magazines sent 
abroad, so the fact that those of us in the UK have received ours might 
not help to see if there has been a hold up somewhere. I've asked Pene 
to keep me informed as I shall be at The Hollies later in the week - in 
the meantime, can any members in Australia, or other far flung places, 
confirm (off list, to me, might be better) whether they have received 
their magazines yet?


I think what is happening now, with the new distributor, is that all of 
the magazines are being sent out at the same time, whereas before the 
overseas copies went out a few days earlier so that all were received 
around the same time. It can take 4 to 10 days to get from the UK to the 
old Zone 2 countries, so it may be that these magazines are still in 
the postal system somewhere.


In return, can anyone else in the UK who ordered the French stamps let 
me know if they have received theirs yet - I'm wondering if there has 
been a delay in sending those out?

   I thought I would let you all know with the talk of the Royal Wedding dress
(which I didn't think the lace looked like Carrickmacross to me) bring me to
the May/June issue of Piecework magazine. I don't have a car and there was
no place near me where I could go to the store and buy this issue of
Piecework but once I found out there was an article about Carrickmacross
lace I had to have it. So I ordered it from Interweave Press. I hate ordering
magazines online for you have to pay for the postage which made that magazine
cost me over $11.00. But I am glad I have it now.
    Years ago I took a lace
class of Carrickmacross Lace with Mary Shields in Ithaca, N.Y. I am pretty
sure it was the same year that the twin towers were hit because I remembered
the worry about Mary flying in from Ireland in October and so soon after that
awful day happened.
    Anyhoo...I remember that Mary had some beautiful
examples of Carrickmarcross lace with her for all of use to see. The lace was
so beautiful and Mary was so nice. I do believe that Marion Jones was also in
my class. The Carrickmacross Lace was written by Mary and Marion both. There
is also a beautiful corner hankerchief pattern in the magazine. 
    After
that class Mary had said she would love to have a lace bobbin painted by me.
In exchange she said she would design a Carrickmacross pattern for me that I

[lace] Lace magazine arrival story

2010-11-15 Thread bev walker
Hi all
It is quiet on the list and herewith a bit of chat. The 'Lace'
magazine arrived at the PO box last week, but I didn't know except for
a claim card. Of course I knew right away after presenting the claim
card and seeing the piece of mail. It had a bulky bit in it, and the
people who sort thought the better of trying to force it into the
narrow mailbox (I have had to pry mail that was rolled tightly, out of
it, ever since the powers-that-be decided to install smaller boxes to
fit in more addresses...how efficient is that...). Now what was this
bulky bit all about? It was at one end of the envelope, as if
something had been tucked in to the magazine.

All it was, was a crimp in the fold below the staple, that must have
happened when the envelope was stuffed. It was so rigid that the
envelope was thumb-thick at that point, and it 'crackled' - (as thick
paper does) must have been of interest to the people-who-sort! I
popped the bent bit back into place and it was a 'whole magazine'
again.

That and a stat holiday for Remembrance Day caused a bit of a delay in
the mailing to this end. Since then, enjoyable read and visuals ;)

(that's my story and I'm sticking to it)
