Sue, as a tatter I am not offended just frustrated that most people can't
recognize the differences between the laces. So many times, at demos, folks

I surely do agree with Alice. I, in fact, saw the same, or similar,
coasters sold in sets of 4 several years ago. I don't recall the cost,
but they were clearly marked Made in China. I did buy an oval piece 5 x 8
