Re: [lace] Lace Postcard
I think that that David's postcard maybe from some where in Eastern France near the Spanish border.

Re: Re:[lace] Lace Postcard
Hello all, As a Spanish lacer, I can say that the pillow of the postcard is like our vertical pillows. The bobbins are the traditional Catalonian boxwood bobbins used all over Spain. And even the pattern is a traditional model made in Camariñas and Almagro, a mixture of torchon and guipur. The picture looks quite recent, as the pillow stand is modern. Traditionally women didn't use stands but the back of a chair or the wall. Investigating a bit further in the picture... she could be a Spanish lacer. An old woman dresses like this woman and sometimes is combed like her. Also the pattern of the ground (to be seen just under the chair) is quite Spanish. But I don't know if you find this pattern in the sidewalks of France too. Best regards... Antje, in Spain. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to arachne.modera...@gmail.com.

Re:[lace] Lace Postcard
I have uploaded David's postcard to the Postcard album that I created last year in Webshots: http://community.webshots.com/user/arachne2003/albums/most-recent?vhost=community Speaking of postcards - does anyone want to do an exchange of postcards again this year during June, July August? Does anyone else wish to organize it? I'd be happy to do so, if no one else wants to, as I'm staying home during these months.

Re:[lace] Lace Postcard
Thanks, David Pene. This is a lovely postcard but I'm surprised it is from France. Her pillow looks like a typical Spanish pillow and so do her bobbins. What does anyone else think?

Those bobbins are exactly like the olive wood bobbins I purchased in Benalmadena on the Costa del Sol. I went as far south as Le Puy en Velay, saw nothing like this pillow. I didn't actually see lacemakers in Spain, but we've all seen pictures.
