Hello
I have two travel pillows, both of which I love working with. One made from

There is an item coming up on this program a little later about the Lacemakers
of somewhere in Southern India which is (according to CBC) the last place
where lace is made by hand.
Not sure what type of lace. I'll listen to the article and post the

tell you about it, since I didn't hear it from the beginning.
Once the CBC gets the program up in a few days you'll be able to listen
to the program online, at

advertised as being about the last place in the world etc., etc.,
but the report includes information on the competition the Indians get
from
I found the article interesting but I really wanted to see what they were
talking about.
Of course it turns out that the the name in the in the blub on the CBC One
page Cape Comorin, is treated as a former name and to find the lace I had to
use the name Kanyakumari.

When I came back to Oz m, from Denver after the IOLI convention in 2005, I
