[lace] Merino Skin Cream

2009-05-15 Thread Clive Betty Rice
Merino lanolin skin cream can be ordered in the USA and Canada from Black Diamond Supply in Hamilton, Montana. They have a web site but take orders by phone. I don't think it is very expensive for the results obtained. They have different sizes. Thanks for suggesting this, Malvery.

Sorry, Gentle Spiders, I couldn't get the URL for the Black Diamond Supply to work. Try to Google Merino Lanolin Cream and see if that works. I think Black Diamond Supply is changing their web page to be able to take orders on line. Hope so anyway. Happy Lacemaking, Betty Ann in Roanoke, Virginia
