I have sent Nancy and Lorelei some photos that I took that I can only share
privately for study purposes. (Anyone else?) They show rather elaborate tally

something I never thought about before. But, when did tally grounds, b

In my continuing study of whether the term point dâAngleterre should be
used, or Brussels bobbin lace, I decided to consult the on line catalogs of
other museums. I started with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, searching
âpoint dâAngleterreâ. Several things came up but one looked strangely

I sent Catherine via email a photo of a spool of thread that I studied during
a demonstration of Alencon by the school in Alencon in 2014. It seemed like a
normal spool of fine cotton thread to me, not anything unavailable on the
market. I noted that in a video they showed at the museum the thread

Thank you for the compliment. If you look on my website, I have a needlelace

Janice your giraffe is exquisite! Many congratulations and you must be
delighted with the result.
I am faced with a similar problem in that I am currently working on an antique

Alice â I remember you wearing lappets at one (or 2) of the IOLI
conventions. I seem to remember you had a different one from your collection,
each day! Everyone was looking out for you to see what you were wearing that

had been traced back to the very early years after the dark ages, when totally
dark clothing began to be lightened with white linen cuffs and collars,
which... over time... began to be embroidered. This eventually tr
It may also be of interest to note that lace collars and cuffs were during
much of their history worn by men as well as, or at times instead of,
women, whereas lappets were worn only by women.

Jean asks, âWere separate lace collars and cuffs around as long as
lappets?â Interesting question. I certainly never thought about it before.
One could argue that lace collars and cuffs, although they predate lappets,
underwent more dramatic changes in size, shape, stiffness, and orientation

Basically, the challenge is to get the lappets out of the lace conference and
onto the runways. How hard could that be? Fashion designers always borrow from
the past. I donât think a simple expedient such as transforming lappets into
scarves is going to appeal to the fashion world which is always

they are from a place named Hermannsburg which is in the northern part of
Germany, north of the town of Celle.
The lappets were worn for the confirmation. They are from black silk and a lot
