[lace] Hedgehog cafe in Tokyo & NELG retreat

[L. E. Weiss]

Semi-lace related-how could I resist posting this?  (Hope this is not a
repeat.)

Tokyo's hedgehog cafe: Spiky success or thorny welfare worry?

Japan's first hedgehog cafe opened recently, to great media attention. But
while their spiky stars are the epitome of "kawaii" cute, is it worth the
fuss, and how good is it for the hedgehogs themselves? 

. . . It's called Harry - that's a play on the Japanese word for hedgehog,
Harinezumi, literally "needle mouse". It's in Roppongi district.

Definitely lace-related.  The New England Lace Group held the annual lace
retreat last weekend in Wareham, Massachusetts:  two classes taught by
Louise Colgan and Holly Van Sciver, some of us "retreating" only--working
away on projects without a class, lovely spot by a bay with nesting ospreys
and wild turkeys roaming the grounds, a spirited silent auction that raised
money for the NELG library and scholarships (well, it was a mostly-silent
auction!), plenty of supplies and books for lace retail therapy, a fun
design competition with a theme of fairy tales and nursery rhymes, and I'm
probably forgetting other key details but it was a great weekend with lots
of lace and laughter.

 

Lorraine in Albany, NY

Who returned home to find that the resident groundhog had devoured all of
the black-eyed susans and coneflowers and left a fairly bare perennial
garden.  Good thing he doesn't like tall phlox or irises.
