here is his name and email address: "James Robison"
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, and he says he works with this women often, so
maybe you can get more information than what i got.
i'm not arguing where it came from because i wouldn't know one type of
bobbin lace from another for the most part, but if this is a hundred
year old piece of hand made lace, then it would just as important to
know who made it and where it came from, especially if it had such a
large yardage that it could be sold by the yard. i might find the
courage to write him again in a few days and find out, but not tonight!
lol! it was sold out before i could get a question in about it! i'm
sure he will do business with the same lady again and she can get the
info for us all on where it came from then.
