Speaking of queens, I have just scanned the book on the tatting of Queen Marie of Rumania. It is full of the pictures of her work and will be of great interest, I think, to the tatters among us. It won't appear on the Professor's site until after Christmas, though, as he is off on a well-earned vacation and as you know, everything goes to him to be processed. But that is only one coming attraction! I am in Philadelphia at the moment, where the Philadelphia Free Library--which has a large collection of lace books: check their web site--opened their shelves to me and I was able to scan three other books--a Lefebure in French (Josette!), the text with a few pictures of the Anna Scott Dike collection (Devon, where can I find the pictures? this is really just a survey of the collection), and a charming little English lace book by one Mme. Goubaud (I wonder if she really was French, or whether it sounded better to an English lace teacher to give herself a fancy French name: more on that speculation another time.)
And other future attractions: half a dozen Italian books from Bianca, and a group of books as yet unreceived from Vibeke. I have a busy winter ahead of me! On another note: before I left for Philadelphia, I had sent out over a hundred CD2s and probably 50 or more CD1s. A busy time, it was--it's nice to have a bit of a break!
