[lace-chat] Re Pictures of this area.
I thought that Heathers idea to let the rest of us see a bit of where she lives was a good idea, so I have put this web site up for anyone interested to see where I live also.

[lace-chat] Stamps
Gentle Spiders, My old stamp supplier is winding things down, no longer getting new issues, so she recommended I check out Herrick for the Italian lace stamp that Lisa Smith told us about long, long ago (October '04). I finally got around to it tonight and, looking at the "search by topic", came to the following: Costs of Arms Many's a time that I myself made the a/s typo, but this one seemed particularly apposite... :) -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ 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]
re: [lace-chat] Handy Hints
While at the office of my DH the other day, with time to waste, I noticed that the stainless steel sink in the staff room was literally brown from coffee stains (so much for it being stainless, LOL) - I looked in the mostly empty cupboards for something, anything, to clean the sink, and found a bottle of ENO fruit salts - and yes, worked like a charm on the coffee stains. Effervesced amusingly and cleaned the sink quickly too. -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] Pictures of this area
Hello all, I just found this site (from a birding list) and thought you might be interested to see some pictures of birds and other fauna from the Pacific Northwest (which is the Northwest of the US and south of where I live in British Columbia, but we have many of the same birds). http://www.pbase.com/jvhigbee Heather Abbotsford, BC To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thanks
Dear Secret Pal What a lovely box of goodies that the Postman delivered today - just the surprise I needed having been up through the night as my 6 year old daughter is poorly. My husband has already opened the sweets and the lavender cat is already in my chest of drawers. What a lovely egg cup - this I am sure it will be claimed by my daughter as we can never find an egg cup when she wants a boiled egg! I have never seen bath gloves before so will try them out soon and the game will keep us all amused (and probably stop me doing my jobs!!). As for the notebook - always a useful item as I always have to have a list of jobs to be done! Thank you so very much for the lovely items. All the very best and happy lacemaking Pam Nottingham, UK To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

"Why do you buy them then?" he asks puzzled. Whereupon the old lady answers, 'We just love the chocolate around them. And this from the sister who used to eat the outsides off liquorice comfits and give me the middle, because she doesn't like liquorice. In case these lovely sweets aren't a worldwide delicacy, they consist of a centre of liqorice covered with a hard, brightly coloured sugar coating, making a long bullet shape sweet.

[lace-chat] Many thanks
Dear Friends, Heart-felt thanks to all of you who took the trouble to email me about the passing of Roxy Hart. I read each and every word with a tear and have duly saved them all. This morning I got out my old engraving tool and carved Roxy's tombstone in a beautiful piece of slate which I found down the paddock. When it was done I mixed up some red ochre powder from the Katherine River and rubbed the paste into the lettering. It does look stunning and is exactly the same colour as Roxy was. Then I planted some little blue flowered reedy bulbs called "Devon Skies" all round her. Tomorrow afternoon I have to face Lindsay again. It wont be easy, much as I love him. Thanks again.

[lace-chat] Handy Hints
Household Hints Sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed. (hmm...) Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them neat and you can write on the roll what > appliance it belongs to. = > For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put Dawn dishwashing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won't refreeze. (wish I had known this for the last 40 years!) = Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in baking soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!). = Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt BLUE!) rubbing alcohol on paper towel. = Whenever I purchase a box of S..O.S Pads, I immediately take a pair of scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that this would be much more economical. And now a box of S.O.S pads last me indefinitely! In fact, I have noticed that the scissors get sharpened this way! = Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works every time! Now, where to put the body? LOL = Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and > horizontal for inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks. Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean. Don't wash windows on a sunny day. They will dry too quickly and will probably streak. = Spray a bit of perfume on the lightbulb in any room to create a lovely light scent in each room when the light is turned on. = Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will Smell freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with towels and linen. Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3 hours prior to burning. To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm! = To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stovetop. Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains. Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting in the refrigerator and it Will keep for weeks. When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn's natural sweetness. Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away. Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces. Left over wine? > What's that?! :) To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area And you will experience instant relief. Ants, ants, ants everywhere Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line. So get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march. See for yourself. Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still, leaves a lovely smell to the shine. When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, then pull it off. Scotch tape removes > most splinters painlessly and easily. Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer. Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean > vitreous China. Clean a vase. To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water and drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets.
