I would agree, especially if the lace items are quickly and simply made. *If there is the market that will support*, it is better for the charity, and for the status of lace, if we would sell at better price (e.g. bookmarks for $20 and $30, that take an afternoon or two to make but, one hopes, look like 'a million dollars.'). In the ways of consumerism, more people are likely to pay top dollar where all the $ goes to charity, than would buy the lace privately (i.e. as profit for the lacemaker). However, if you live in an area where people tend to watch their wallets, your market will determine the price, and it might have to be lower in order for the charity to gain anything by lace sales. a few cents' worth from -- Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
