Those who enjoy looking at auction catalogs - In the June 18th one by Kerry
Taylor Auctions in London, IÂ especially loved the baby and childhood
clothing of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret. The tiny pink coat, is
adorable. The clothing we wore 60 years ago, with the very full skirts.
Another lace and other textiles aucton coming up at Drouot on May 29, 2015.

Dear Jeri,
I think many of us like to understand the other aspects of lace other than
'just' making it. Knowing what the antiques are worth is always interesting.
For me, it's seeing what was made, when. And simply seeing examples of various
laces is an education. I always look at the

I've been looking for pictures of Bruges lace and have just found
another internet auction site with lace on offer. All the lace seems
to be from the same seller and is not as antique as they claim. The
prices are high compared to EBay, but if anyone's interested have a
look at CQout.

How did we miss this? I guess because we know the Springett's and got all
wrapped up in the other auction. That *might* mean there would be some good
buys at Bonhams!

Thank you for this report, Jean. As you point out, the size of the piece is
a major disincentive to buying it. Also, the fact that nobody really knows how
