Hi Sue...
When I first read your note, I intuitively understood that you were

like the antiques. Even if you can't find a genuine antique, Chiara's

Maltese government banned the fireworks because they were so powerful
and many people lost fingers etc. in accidents but the Maltese people
were so upset by this ruling that the government reinstated the
fireworks.

Hello Adele,
It's difficult to say something about your old pattern without seeing
the pricking. But if it is from about 1650 it could be freehand lace.

Hello all,
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Perhaps you'd all better move here. Abbotsford has outlawed
fireworks. The only ones allowed are the official ones of the city and the
rare private ones that have received approval. The only official ones that
I can recall are on Canada Day
I love them also however when they are being set off until 4-5 in the

A mistake for Cash name *tapes*. It's a brand name of a
company that weaves the names into the tapes instead of
printing them on -- so the names not only don't wash out,
the tapes outlast the garments they are sewn to.
Because you have to order so many in one go, one tip I was given for
ordering Cash name tapes is that you can have three names on them, usually
this would be the first and second given names and the surname of one
person. But if you have two children you can share the tapes between them eg
