I am writing this message with a very heavy heart. Until yesterday morning, I was following the messages about theft of pieces from fairs, demonstrations etc and have picked up lots of ideas on how to secure the pieces twice as well as I did before. Thanks all who offered information.
Meanwhile, yesterday afternoon, while I was at my lace teacher's house printing a pattern for a miniature bedspread which I promised to work for someone, she received a call from the headmaster of the Gozo Arts School to whom she had entrusted a beautiful shawl for him to show on a stand at a fair - I believe in Peniche - but will confirm. He had phoned to say that the shawl had been stolen! Immediately I asked if she had photos of the shawl so that I could circulate among you in the hope that if anyone had to catch sight of it in another fair, being worn, or possibly someone trying to sell it - perhaps on eBay - you would inform us as soon as possible. Photos are attached. Edith will recognise the shawl immediately as it has a flaw which makes it definitely hers. Thanks, Karen in Malta. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
