I was lucky enough to see this exhibition on a recent trip to England. It is, bar none, the finest lace exhibit that I've ever seen. It was even more meaningful because I got to go with three of my best lace friends so there was someone else along to appreciate the fine displays. Extraordinary!!! Not only the quantity of the lace, but the exceptional quality.

What a Feast for the Eyes! How lucky some of you are, to be able to go and see all this beautiful lace. However, I shall just sit back and drool over all those lovely photos!!! :) What a wonderful collection - and I believe it is only part of what was in the original collection. I see some of the pieces that they had are now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Hmmm! Another good reason to get there one day !!!!!!!!!! :) Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz. where it is a glorious early autum day, with it being sunny and pleasantly warm.
