Hi, Iain and I went to Eire for a few days last week. We visited the Sheelin
Irish Lace museum. It is situated four miles outside Enniskillen and is well
worth a visit. It claims to be the largest lace collection in Ireland. The
front is a shop selling lace (expensive!) but after you pay �2.50 each you get
to
see a wonderful collection of irish laces, wedding dresses and christening
dresses galore. You can drool. It says it has approx. 400 exhibits and five
main
Irish laces, Youghal needlelace, Inishmacsaint needlelace, Crochet, Limerick,
and Carrickmacross. All dated from between 1850 & 1900. It is open Monday to
friday 10 till 6. If any one wants to go and needs directions if you e-mail
Iain will help. We also went to Clones. Not so impressive but if you are going
in
that area anyway. Very friendly ladies and a tea shop. No entrance fee.
KEEP LACING, VIVIENNE, BIGGINS
