[lace-chat] NEC December
Is anyone else going to the Fair on the Sunday? Our local group, Borders Lacemakers, has organised a coach for us. As the previous day is our AGM and Christmas Lunch we shall have a busy weekend. I'm glad I don't have to get up for work on the Monday :-) Patricia in Wales [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] Crafts
Maybe in adverspeak, crafts is the art of sticking things together with a glue gun., but I'm enrolled in a degree program titled Contemporary Crafts Marketing and it includes glass blowing, ceramics, and jewelry, including my wire lace jewelry made with fine and sterling silver and the art jewelry of fellow Arachnean Pat Frese, who also teaches in the program. No glue guns. Like bobbins, a glue gun is a tool and cannot be used to define crafts. For more information, check out http://www.craftcouncil.org/, the web page of the American Craft Council.

[lace-chat] Havant
Guys, Just want to say thanks to all the nice people who were so kind to the Aussie at his very first lace fair. He didn't believe me about the stampeding hoards of lace makers and how you get really bad bruises in your ribs from their elbows but after the initial rush had died down and he got to chat to some of the suppliers he found the whole thing really interesting. However, towards the end (I think it might have something to do with the cup of coffee you could disolve teaspoons in from the lady down on the fair's floor) Annette and I stuck him in a corner with all our purchases as we wandered back an forth with the things we had bought. Must admit too, that the fact the Aussie offered to drive Annette and I there in his new company car was an added bonus - my heater has gone west in my KA - and the Merc is rather lush. Plans are now afoot for the NEC Regards Liz in London I'm back blogging my latest lace piece - have a look by clicking on the link or going to http://journals.aol.com/thelacebee/thelacebee To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] Fwd: Dictator Blair causes havoc, and lets slip the hounds of war
It's good to know that, wherever else US might be alone, bending laws to suit and chipping away at personal freedoms isn't it; UK seems to be our close ally in *that* respect also :) Though I *could* wish the flap had been started by something - anything? - *other* than forbidding the rich and idle to let their dogs tear a fox to bits (a practice I don't approve of myself)... http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/opinion.cfm?id=1340412004 --- Tamara P Duvall http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
