Re: [lace] pillow infestation
Very many thanks for all the suggestions. I'm sorry not to reply before, but suddenly I had 4 such busy days that I didn't get to the computer. Anyway, I hope I have replied to everyone now. I will try the different ideas and see how it goes. I just hope the infestation doesn't spread to any other pillow (they are all stored and used separately), especially as I will have to manage without this one for a month or two. It is a good quality pillow, made by Newnhams who no longer exist. I couldn't replace it even if I were prepared to throw it away. But does anyone happen to know what fabric Newnhams used to cover their pillows? I don't dare 'cook' the pillow because I don't know what the fabric is. Given the environment we live in, I can hardly be squeamish about dead mites. Having experienced ticks and fleas (both on dogs and personally), all the weird and wonderful critters in our garden and the spiders and bugs that find their way into the house, mites pale into insignificance really. Its just that I don't like them running around on the pillow when I am trying to work. Thanks again for all your help.

[lace] German Lace Museums
Hello all I am planning a trip to Europe next year with a friend. We are attending the Tonder Festival in Denmark and the OIDFA Congress in Slovenia. We have about 10 days to fill in travelling by train from Hamburg on June 10th to Ljubliana on June 20th. Can anyone suggest some must see lace museums or events in Germany, Czech Republic, Poland or Austria ? We know about the Idrija festival and that is on our possible list.
