The second Elsie Luxton book has directions for sewing a Honiton lace motif
to fabric (ie handkerchief corner) and finishing the rest of the edge.
As I looked for the book to give you its name I realised it's not there. I
must look in my library book to see which student has it, because
I remember hearing on the news at the weekend that none of the new members
are converting to the Euro immediately.

For all of you who are going to Prague:
1) Euro
As Tamara said - Euro is far, far away for us... You have to live with Czech
crowns. The problem is - try to spend all you have in crowns, because
changing back is only in Czech republic possible.
2)Getting cash, paying

I am going to be in Prague in June, unfortunately too early for
OIDFA, but I would like to ask a question about currency. Will the

When I was in both Germany and France, the same question came up from local
lacemakers: We don't read English, so why should we bother with the Professor's
site? (Of course, they didn't say it quite like that, but the meaning was
pretty clear.)
So I wrote the Prof and asked him if there was
Hello Tamara, hello Lacefriends,
In Pragur they have still their old currency and not the Euro. At
the airoport from Prague is at least one possibility to change money
after arriving.
I am sure that some of the shops, restaurants and in the hotels too
will accept plastic but not the small ones
Sunday was slightly cooler but another bright sunny day. I really enjoyed
talking to everyone who came to my stall. I did well and sold
all the books I had brought except one and over two hundred pounds worth of
the Romanian lace in aid of the Lace group in Romania.
I taught several members how

Dear Friends,
About half an hour ago I had the most delightful chat with Heather MUTH
from B.C., Canada!! Yes, she phoned.
I suppose we talked for about 20 minutes and covered quite a bit of ground.

I told Heather I was going to boil the billy and go down the creek,
There was this fellow who worked for Australia Post, whose job it was to
process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day a letter came to
his desk, addressed in a shaky handwriting to God. He thought, Oh boy,
better open this one and see what it's all about. So he opened it and read:

The mention of Anne of Green Gables bought back a few memories, my two girls
loved those stories when they were younger, watched the films over and over.
My eldest daughter, Judy, has red hair just like Anne, which guess what she
hates (and a similar temperament). One day when I was
I can remember as a child in infants school hating reading - it was so
difficult - until one day in the school corridor, which doubled as the school
hall, whilst waiting to go in to read to someone - can't remember whether it

As a young girl I really enjoyed a series of book about 'the five'
five girls, the ringleader was a girl named Georgina, but know as

Although the Famous Five has been suggested for this and it seems
likely, I wonder if you are combining them in memory with another series

G'day Heather,
Many years ago David Downunder had called Tamara and described her
voice. I'd been wanting to hear it ever since and yesterday's mail
problem seemed as good a reason as any. I also pay very cheap phone
rates. I very nearly called David in the middle of the night (his night)
Calling in sick to work makes me uncomfortable. No matter how legitimate
my excuse, I always get the feeling that my boss thinks I'm lying. On
one recent occasion, I had a valid reason but lied anyway, because the
truth was just too darned humiliating. I simply mentioned that I had

HI Marie,
Thanks for the informative reply. Maybe if we get to Prague again they will be using
the euros by then. Thanks for the tip about changing back before we leave. We
usually try to use up our money at the airport but this time we are taking the train
to Vienna. Our train tickets came
Well, I didn't exactly pass out -- when I absolutely had to sit down for a
few minutes, there was no chair in sight, so I sat on the floor. Suddenly
sinking to the floor when surrounded by doctors and R.N.s is not a good idea
for those who wish to be allowed to leave quietly.
