Oh, I've done that! Both at lace vendor stalls and at the Medieval
Congress in Kalamazoo!
When I get my act together, I put a download of our Bibliofile database
(just a FileMaker database with a funny name, not a special program) on
my iPad where I can readily search it as a spreadsheet. But sometimes I
forget to take the latest version, or find I left it in the dorm, or
just the booth is so crowded I don't want to bother checking..
Janice, someone on this list might like to take it off your hands.
Sorry for my own low participation lately - the last couple of years at
work were much, much busier than usual (requiring about a 30% increment
in time spent there), so I decided to retire - which of course has meant
that I dumped a batch of stuff from the cube in my house that now needs
to be integrated sanely. Also was sent to a conference in France, and my
colleague enticed me to visit her at her family home in Bruges (poor
me!); we also went to Ghent together. Yes, I got a few minutes in at the
Kantcentrum, and the store across from it, and wandered around Brussels
for half a day on my own. That was two weeks out of the country, and I
came back to work just two days before retiring. Just last Friday,
returned from 10 days in the Middle Ages at the Pennsic Wars with my
daughter and her family and about 10,350 other people...

I was patting myself on the back for not buying a duplicate book
during the week at convention, only to purchase a book on the last
morning, knowing I would be unlikely to buy such an expensive book
before. I had some spending cash left that morning so decided to splurge.
Darn, when I went to enter it in My Library on my phone at home, I had
a copy on the shelf. Ulrike Voelcker's Mitt Rippe Und Rolle, $65 down
the tube. I had checked my phone library list when I looked for other
books but didn't think to check this one.
Don't you hate it when you make an expensive mistake.
What is your worst mistake with lace making supplies, or even anything
that you regret purchasing.
