I spotted something of interest on eBay this morning. It seems that Dept 56, which manufactures decorative "collectables", has added a lacemaker and lacemaker's shop to this years Dickens Village. These collectables are usually found in gift shops and specialty shops that feature Christmas decorations. So there is certainly no need to get in a price war over the one on eBay! What is interesting is that it seems that our pursuit of lacemaking has finally entered the public consciousness to the extent that a company would portray it in something like this! I've attached the tiny url so you can see what it looks like. The house will probably be about eight inches high. It is made of porcelain, and the windows and other openings are pierced so that the light from the little bulb inside shines through. Typically, the scale of the figures to the houses is way off... so the lacemaker will be much larger in scale. Don't know why they do that. She would be sold separately. http://tinyurl.com/36pfhz Clay Clay Blackwell Lynchburg, VA, USA - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this incoming message.
