I think we loose out a lot because of the Arachne police of the past, why do I say this. Well this last week I went to Salisbury Museum having first taken my grandson to the Army museum. I was in conversation with one of the curators who told me that just the week previously they had given a talk "Lace on Costume". Yes the costumes were on display for everyone to see. Sadly few people turned up for this talk, so will they have another? Who knows, perhaps if this had been advertised more widely there might have been more people attend. I also realise that the museum has a limited budget. I did enjoy the lace display at the museum, for me the outstanding piece was the "Stumpwork Mirror".
Plus in the beginning, we would be told about many lace making trips that lacemakers have taken, telling us what they have seen, what they liked etc. This is seldom done, I myself have taken many trips but would not post to Arachne what I had seen and done. Jean in Newbury who must get ready for college or I will be late. To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED]
