TV programmes about antiques have taken over from cookery programmes in that there's at least one on every day (frequently two). They always refer to wood as treen, so that's one of the things I meant about having picked up words from other sellers and put them together. One of the programmes where contestants have to try to buy then sell collectables for a profit is on while we have our lunch, so we watch it, and it always surprises me that we never see any lace bobbins or other lace related items even when the camera is scanning the sales tables of the sellers at large antiques fairs.
