is! The one

Ithaca, sounds wonderful. I gotta rearrange my schedule to get to Ithaca, it always

Hi All, What an interesting thread! I'll add some things that I know and
some guesses. My main interest is tape lace/Battenberg lace and most of my

They do, indeed. And I love going there (and make a point of it nearly
every trip to visit my mom, who lives in the area). But it's not all
