Hello, Gentle Spiders, I'm wondering if someone closer to the "inner circles" can answer my question: If I put down for the cheapest lodging (double room, sharing the bathroom with another such, on campus), do I have to "provide" my own roommate, or will the organisers find me one? The person

Hello Lacefriends, The art-world didn't know much of the private life of Vermeer that's why I didn't like this book. In this book he is shown as a fanatic which didn't care of other peoples feeling. And there is not much in about life in the Netherlands of 17.cent. If there is somebody who is se

I haven't read it, but I think the novel by Jean Montupet called the Lacemaker is one of the few to actually deal with the lives of lacemakers. However, I believe they are French Needlelacers of the 18th century. Since the person asked for a "depiction" does she mean a book or a picture? At the

Hi Jane, Well done on finding that new book on Lace from the V&A. I for one will be looking for it when it is published on 29th April. (That's according to the V&A site) The info you copied from the Tesco site(I didn't know they sold books) seems to be the same as that from the museum flier. Th
