2004-03-22 Thread Linda Walton
Dear Lacemakers, there is an article about the history of lacemakers in the U.K. magazine, Family History Monthly, (the April issue). As I only bought it this afternoon, I haven't had time to read it through, but a quick skim shows four pages of respectable writing, some good photographs and a

Sorry not to see you in Tonder, Tamara. We will be there, but not in Prag, because my father has his 85th birthday that weekend. We are very sorry he had'nt decided to choose a different day 85 years ago. We are looking forward to see all Arachnians (or Arachnics?) there and provide a sign for all

Hi Janice: Check when it was published and if it's been updated. I rather think this book is about 6 years old, which might explain the absence of the Lacefairy. (I could be wrong, of course - this could be a totally different book, but it sounds like one I reviewed for my embroiderer's guild

Dear Secret Pal Apologies for the delay in thanking you for your latest package. The tatting gives me something to aspire to and as for the CD what can I say. I love Tchaikovsky and I do not have any of the pieces that are on it so it is really appreciated. I am taking it to our lace class

My mother had pepper and salt hair and I think I have inherited that also. Why I think is because I am not sure what color my hair is really. I have been using a red hair dye to hide the grey for so long now but I am sure if I stopped using it I would have patches a grey here and there

Thank you, Tamara, that was a great joke at the end of a tiring day! DH, who is a real Aussie, always complain when we go to Europe about the difficulties in finding public loos. He says that in France, they do it on purpose so people have to go to cafes and pay for a drink so they can unload the
