Dear Clay

I remember the discussions on the subject of adding pictures - though was not 
aware of the outcome. 
As a newcomer to the use of Flickr I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say 
thank you for your generosity.

The Arachne photo page is a site I established several years ago on Flickr for 
sharing photos which we are unable to do on Arachne itself.  While it is 
possible to have a free Flickr page, I opted for an unlimited page which I pay 
for on a quarterly basis.  When you post pictures on this site, you post to 
your "set" of pictures on the Arachne site.  Technically, it is "my" Flickr 
page

I am delighted to see that we have nearly 100 lacemakers posting sets on 
Flickr!   The vast majority of sets contain fewer than 10 pictures, while a few 
have over 100 pictures.  Of course, we also have our card and ornament 
exchanges as well!   

This might be a good time to start the conversation about how to maintain the 
site should anything happen to prevent me from continuing.

[lace] Pictures added to Flickr.

2017-08-20 Thread Diana Smith
I've added two pictures to my Flickr page. One is a small sample lace piece, 
from the same collection as the Old Ripon, a pretty edging with an unusual 
ground.

The second pictures is of the Hollie Point sampler which was a very lucky find 
on eBay. It was amongst a collection of odds and ends of lace, I could see it 
but didn't realise what a find it was. In the top right hand corner there are 
initials, one possibly an 'M', below that the date 1773 can easily be seen. 
There are various crowns and other designs. It is mounted on a piece of very 
faded pink silk material.

I hope you find them interesting and worth discussing.
