Hi
Later this month my DH and I shall be travelling north to visit both the
Bowes Museum and also the Harrogate Lace Event, really looking forward to
seeing the Blackbourne exhibition at the Bowes as I've heard so much about
it. It will also be nice to attend a lace suppliers fair that we've
Hi spiders,
Another appeal for information, a student is going on holiday to the Tatra
mountains region of Poland. Are there any museums or places to visit in the
area that are lace related please.
Many thanks to you all for the wealth of information that you are all so
willing to share with
Dear spiders
I 'm looking into a portable PA system, intended for the use of speakers at
lace days can anyone give me any pointers as to what to look for and any
pitfalls to be aware of please, I know that some of you do give talks and
use such equipment so any advice would be most welcome.
Hi Jean
Men on the moon didn't seem too big a deal to me in July 1969, I was only 10
years old and desperately missing my mum who had recently died ( aged 39
from lung cancer - she never smoked but my father did by the packet load), I
had been dumped into a convent boarding school (not wanted at
Hi spiders
I received an unexpected phone call the other week from a lady who is in the
process of moving house and wanted to find a good home for some old lace!
She was given mydetails andtelephoned to see if I was interested. Well you
can imagine the response - yes please, where do you live (2
Congratulations to all the winners, I've had a look at the Lace Guilds site
and was able to look at Gallery's 2 and 3 (couldn't access gallery 1 via
either web site address). Of the entries I was able to see pictures of, well
they were all absolutely beautiful and very worthy winners.
I shall
Hi spiders
The mention of Anne of Green Gables bought back a few memories, my two girls
loved those stories when they were younger, watched the films over and over.
My eldest daughter, Judy, has red hair just like Anne, which guess what she
hates (and a similar temperament). One day when I was
Dear Mary
Your parcel arrived today, earlier than I'd expected but a lovely surprise.
The bobbin case is really beautiful, thank you so very much. I will keep
this brief and write to you over the weekend (you didn't enclose your e.mail
address), and thank you properly, just wanted you to know that
Reading Ruth's account of parking her new car reminded me of when my car had
to go to the garage for repair. I'd got an important meeting to attend in
Norwich, but no means of getting there (forget public transport it's a joke
where I live!), so a friend loaned me their car for the day having
Hi Jean
We get very hard water in our region, awful limescale around the taps,
clogging up the kettle etc etc. About 18 months ago we invested in a magnet
gizmo that is attached to the households incoming waterpipe, we have begun
to notice a remarkable improvement over recent months, we don't get
Hi spiders
Just wanting to draw on the fountain of knowledge that is out there. Has
anyone personal experience of using a Tempur mattress and or pillow (not the
lace variety the ones for on your bed!!!)? They are the mattresses that are
based on NASA technology. If you do please would you e.mail
Dear Secret Pal
What a lovely start to the day, for some strange reason known only to the
post office, we don't usually get any post on a Saturday (unless it's
christmas time) it is usually held over to Monday! But today the postaman
delivered your parcel on a Saturday - must be Christmas all over
Hi spiders
Read this one with some amusement. The tale reads just like the song
entitled Murphy and the Bricks
which I have on CD by Noel Murphy and the Mahogany Gaspipes in session. A
very amusing collection of folk music.

Hi spiders
History through the eyes of kids.
My DH and I loved this one, so did my students, it gave us all a much needed
laugh during coffee break, (a sad day today as it was the fureral of one of
my students). Had a scary thought though - did they all grow up and enter
Congress/Senate?

Dear Secret Pal
Your parcel arrived today, we had a quiet but enjoyable Christmas and my DH

that we plan to attend.
I was intrigued with the Batavia bobbins when I first opened the parcel and
then memory kicked in and I

Hi spiders
Just in case I wasn't clear in the original message (which for some odd
reason has duplicated several times, sorry but,I only pressed the button
once promise), as this has cropped up in replies, but 10 pairs equals 10
prizes, ok?
Very best wishes to all for Christmas the New Year.
Hi spiders
I am posting this to both lists (I hope!).
I have a number of old Maltese bobbins that recently came into my possession
(about 300 actually!). They originally belonged to a Maltese lady who made
lace, she died in 1950 and had owned them for about 20 years, prior to that
who knows, so
Dear Secret Pal
What a lovely surprise to brighten a busy grey day, the Christmas bobbin is
delightful with its Christmas tree and star - thank you very very much. The
calendar is ideal for my handbag, I was so pleased that you chose one which
shows a little of the area in which you live - dusk
Hello to my new Secret Pal in Australia
Thank you so much for the gifts, it was a delight to open all the little
parcels. The beads will be used to spangle some awaiting bobbins, the
threads are very pretty, nice fine gimps perhaps, and I love the little book
on chocolate - mouthwatering. I shall
Hi spiders
I've missed you all this past fortnight, no idea where half my e.mail has
gone but it hasn't all arrived here!
We seem to have finally conquered the problems by our ISP changing its dial
up connection, of which we were unaware until we couldn't get through. Hours
of being on hold later
Hi spiders
We'er having awful problems with internet connection, and telephone for that
matter, at present we are hoping to have it resolved by the end of next
week - a very very very long story. If anyone has tried to get in touch
please bear with the situation there is nothing I can do about it
Hi spiders
A quick query which I'm hoping our New Zealand friends may be able to help
with. Can anyone tell me for which newspaper/magazine Margaret Christensen
writes a weekly article called Midweek - By The Way? I'm trying to locate
the exact provenance of an article on the Battle of Britain
A huge thank you to my Secret Pal,
What a wonderful surprise parcel. The calendar and the souvenir book of Las
Vegas are very special and are a really lovely reminder of the nice side of
our stay in Las Vegas. It is an amazing place. My son enjoyed the lollipop -
we'ed not seen one quite like it
Hi spiders
It has been a very hectic week or so. Alice, I haven't forgotten about doing
a write up about the trip to America - it really has been hectic - son
getting married, daughter moved to Leicester, husband demolishing our
cloakroom, teaching, helping with the organising of our lace day
Hello spiders
Just wanted to say its nice to be back on chat. We had a great holiday in
California. Alice it was really nice talking to you, thank you for ringing,
we had had a particularly bad day in Las Vegas although we did make it out
to the Grand Canyon eventually which was brilliant, but
Hello and thank you to my Secret Pal for such a wonderful and lovely
surprise.
But we were oh so disappointed at not meeting with your friend Claryce
Manchester who so very kindly delivered the gorgeous chocolates to our hotel
in Las Vegas.
We had a call from the bell desk to say that there was
Bye for the time being fellow spiders, I shall be unsubscribing for a few
weeks while we go off on our Californian Adventure, not quite in the same
league as Angela's journey but still an adventure for us.
Clay am really pleased that your grandson is okay.

Dear secret pal
Your package arrived today, and what a lovely surprise I had when I opened
it. What a lovely American sewing case - it will be greatly treasured and a
constant reminder of my first secret pal, and a great place for keeping all
my lace paraphernalia in. I found the tin of sweets
Hi all
I just received my arachne commemorative spangled bobbin and cover cloth,
they are really lovely, but my husband had to laugh when he saw them, but
you don't like spiders says he, I know, but they are arachne spiders so
that's okay says I.
