Once again a competition I probably stand no chance of

lace

As usual, I was relieved to hear that there would *be* an Advent
Calendar again this year (many thanks, Jean and David; it's always
great fun, even if I don't compete). Also as usual, I was late "getting
to it", and it took Janice's mention of my name and stamps to get my
ducks in a row and check it out :)
I doubt I'll compete -- my own collection isn't all that impressive,
especially if only *strictly* lace-related stamps are in play (I
collect all textile-related stamps on the one hand, but not much in the
way of lace-on-costumes on the other hand). Plus... I hadn't added to
it in 3 yrs or so, I do not check philatelic catalogues to check if
anything new has appeared, etc, etc.
I only have a few stamps and am not too good at getting around the
Internet to check for clues.
Haven't been there in a while but in the days gone by, the Lacefairy
used to have a great -- virtual -- collection of lace-related stamps
(including costumes). Another great place for lace-stamp candy is:
http://www.lacestamps.com/
(can't even remember whose page that is, but it's an Arachnean also)
There. I probably shouldn't have said anything; I probably should have
let you (and others) dig for yourself... OTOH... I've been "an
equal-opportunity spoil-sport" (sorry, Jean and David <g>). I'm not
competitive any more than I am religious. But, just as I enjoy looking
at the Lace Advent Calendar, so do I enjoy the idea that so many stamps
in so many countries have celebrated my obsession :)
