I have met lacemakers in many places around the world, usually arranged in advance. One time I was in Venice and taking a ferry across the lagoon to a reception with DH. I was wearing a spangled bobbin necklace and a lady spotted it and started a conversation with me. She was English but lived in Sweden and she was headed to the same reception with her hubby. We spent a nice evening together talking lace whilst the husbands discussed business, and looking at the lace book I had bought before catching the ferry. The next day I was visiting the lace school on Burano, wearing the same necklace and this time a lacemaker from the Netherlands and I had a very interesting conversation whilst we looked at the lace exhibits. So I guess the moral of this message is to wear something recognisable to another lacemaker. Janice
