Dear Devon, Sorry. I wrote NJ and then changed it to Maryland. Should have gone with my first instinct. Thanks for the blurb. We can rewrite something from it for our press release.
I actually provided Harry Porterfield some lace history which was given to me by Arachne, Doris O'Neill. He seemed to like the fact that men wore more lace than women at one time. He talks about mid-19th century but his male portrait I have been told is Sir Francis Drake, dead a long time before that. The female portrait was on the cover of an IOLI Bulletin I found for the cameraman. I did not notice that in my haste that the lady was holding a tatting or knotting shuttle. :-) Janice [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 4/10/2008 10:25:48 A.M.

Would like to take credit for this one, but it is in NJ where I made my bones publicity wise.
