[lace] lace room at the VA

Hi Devon I was at the VA just 4/5 few weeks ago for an appointment, and in our break at lunch time we went along to the lace room but it was closed. We asked about why and were told that because of its location within the museum, if they are short of staff for room watching (can't think of the

I discovered a new lace shop last weekend in Scarborough, Yorkshire (UK). It's a craft shop under the market building and has been taken over by a lady who makes lace. She's in the process of increasing her lace stocks and has some lovely bobbins at the moment. (I only bought one pair!) So

Hi Alice I'm moving this to Lace as it *is* relevant as some of your lace got contaminated, and you are more likely to get answers. Fortunately it's not a problem I've had to deal with, but I have a question for you - by 'gas' do you mean petrol or diesel? Petrol is what most cars used

In the USA, 'gas' is what we call petrol. It was clear...left no marks... but the smell drives me nuts. All the cleaning suggestions for fabrics end with saying NOT to dry it in a dryer because any residue could combust. Drying in air is recommended until any trace of odor is gone. I may

Alice, how about if you get some of the charcoal that is sold in pharmacies to be ingested when someone swallows something poisonous? If you spread some of the charcoal on a flat surface, put a layer of lightweight cloth over it, put your lace on that, another layer of cloth, and then

Dear Alice, I do know that the deodorizer, Febreeze© is used by people who clear houses/rooms where dead people have been for awhile. We had a horrible dead mouse-odor and could not find the source. We phoned our friendly mortician who gave us the name of the cleaning crew who gave us Febreeze ©

I'm very annoyed at my DH. He put a gas can in my car trunk, with my lace stuff. It tipped over and spilled on my lace display board, as well as on the carpet of my new car. The display board is ruined...soaked. I pulled the lace pieces off if immediately, but about 1/3 of them smelled. I
