[lace] Sivewright and Pope cape

2003-10-31 Thread Jean Nathan
This is going back a bit to when 'that mat' was being discussed, and mention was made of the book by Christine Springett of prickings from the works of Misses Sivewright and Pope. I referred to the pricking of the cape (it was actually 'cope' in the book) and that there was no photograph of the

I'm happy to hear that CD2 is ready, and I was planning to order both CD1 and CD2, but the UK is just being hit by a postal strike. It's not in all areas of the country at the moment, but it is spreading. The problem is with post going through an area where the postal workers are already on

Hi guys! I just had to share with you what I see outside today - the coolest and prettiest view - especially when inside in the warm! All the moisture we've had the last day or so has frozen around the trees, and it looks lacey. What'[s really cool is that some trees are bare, some still have
