Dear Jane To find the Mary Card books on the lacis website (www.lacis.com)
Click online shopping on the first page Then type in Mary Card and Click search Many people appreciate guiding in this way ad they don't find it on first visiting the site. I'm glad you are a Mary Card admirer. She was a remarkable lady with a good deal of charisma as well as a talented and prolific designer.

I've been wanting to buy them but hadn't gotten around to ordering from Australia yet. Do you happen to know what category they have them in? I looked around on their website a little bit last night but couldn't find them. Lacis doesn't always list things where I can find them! I look forward to reading your thoughts on dating old pub- lications. In my research on Battenberg lace I run into the same thing and there are clues if you know what to look for! I also loved your articles in "Piecework" on Mary Card. I'd seen her work in the old magazines but it wasn't until we had a discussion on arachne that I really paid attention when I saw her name. Too focused on my special interest <G>. Her work is so lovely and knowing what else was being done at the same time gives me a broader understanding. I would have sent this privately but I think others may be interested in this part of our lace history too! For anyone who deleted the first message the title of one of Barbara Ballantyne's books is "Mary Card: Australian Crochet Lace Designer Jane in Vermont, USA who is heading to bed and I am not a paid advertiser <G>.
