[lace-chat] Book Raffle

2012-03-30 Thread Joy Beeson
We're getting a new carpet in the parlor, which has meant 
considerable upheaval among the books stored there.


One of the things that turned up was a thin, library-bound 
copy of


Old World Lace or A Guide for the Lace Lover
by Clara M. Blum
E.P. Dutton & Co., New York
Copyright 1920

Contents

Introduction
Laces of Italy
Laces of Flanders
Laces of France
Laces of Spain
Laces of England
Laces of Ireland
Glossary
Grounds
Index

They tore out the card pocket before stamping "discard", 
then wrote a price on the corner of the page; otherwise in 
excellent condition for an ex-library book, and only a 
little yellow.


Send entries to joybeeson at comcast.net with the word 
"raffle" in the subject line.


I'll draw names on Friday the thirteenth; there's a library 
book sale that day, so that cuts down on the dates I have to 
remember.

where crocus are gone, daffodils have faded, hyacinths are 
fading, and redbuds and violets are at peak.

(And we have a *lot* of redbuds in this end of town!)

[lace-chat] book raffle

2005-02-15 Thread Jacqui Southworth
Just to prove I'm not as uncharitable as my (admittedly) catty remark about 
Camilla would suggest (although I was just stating a fact) I have a book
to raffle. I bought it second hand some time ago meaning to raffle it on 
arache, but life as been a bit hectic lately and I forgot.
However  - the book is 'Duchesse lace - an Introduction' by Jane Newble-de 
Graaf, published by Batsford in 1989, but now OOP.
Please send me your name if you would like to enter - for any newbies, this is 
a free raffle, and I will pay the postage costs to anywhere in the
world (although I'm not promising airmail to more distant shores as the book is 
quite heavy!)
Closing date is midnight Sunday 20th February GMT.
