Hello Marie-Anne and everyone If you have time while in Victoria, visit the Royal BC Museum. Among the many fascinating displays there is a replica of shops from the turn of the century, including a dressmaker's shop with many laces. The floor devoted to native art and craft, including textiles should not be missed (even though it isn't lace).
Not far from the RBCM, on Government Street, is the Irish Linen Shoppe, a small import store where carrickmacross pieces can be purchased; they sell also linens and cottons for the dining table. If you like chocolate, Roger's Chocolates, handmade since 100 years, is several doors down from the linen shop. A while ago I met someone who was selling her handmade original lace from a gift shop in Banff - I have no idea if she still is, or where that gift shop would be located - so maybe watch for something like that when you are in Banff. Hope this helps! > In june I am travelling in Canada, from Calgary we make a trip in a RV. We > go to Jasper, Banff, Vancouver, Victoria. > Is there anything interesting to see in this are concerning lace? > > Marie-Anne, Netherlands > > -- Bev in Sooke BC (on beautiful Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
