LeAnn,
I don't have a snood pattern but I am a regular snood wearer (as a married
Jewish orthodox woman, I cover my hair at all times outside the house).
Almost anything that is comfortable around the rim of the head will be fine,
as long as it is sufficiently long. Most important thing to remembe

Lovely. In my opinion, the Brits have always dressed up their officials
nicely. No one that I've ever seen has come close to my favourite, Queen
Elizabeth I. Imagine being charged with making lace for her, and caring for
it! That would have been hard, and most likely by candlelight too, and pa

Here is a picture of Lord Denning, (from a book cover, I think), showing him

He became Master of the Rolls, the most senior judge in England, but I think
his outfit is typical of a High court Judge.

Hi Devon and everyone
Regarding framing the lace - I'd say yes to covering the back and yes to
leaving a gap between fabric and glass. I have had some pieces in a frame
for years (granted, in the damp west coast climate) and they seem fine. If
the back is covered with conservation quality paper, i

This story is widely repeated by lovers of French bulldogs (of whom I
