Dear Susan, An expanded version of the Coco Chanel quote has been on the front of Lacemakers of Maine's handout for 15 plus years. We believe if you give someone a piece of paper, you should give them a reason to keep it. The handout was so carefully written that it is still current, except for a contact e-mail address, which we pen in. Our handout is a white 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper, folded in half. That gives 4 sides for a lace message. Inside the fold is a list called "Care of Lace" and on the facing side we tell about Lacemakers of Maine - a description of the group, list of lace techniques, list of places we have demonstrated, and contact information. The back page has information about IOLI and Arachne. Yes! We have been telling people about Arachne for a long time. We individually pick up the costs of our little group. No dues, no officers (all are equal), no complicated obligations for already busy people. Might not work for larger groups, but we are a very small circle of lace loving women who host meetings in private homes. Works for us. Suggest it for the very small isolated lace groups that would be possible throughout large countries like the U.S., Canada and Australia. What we lack is experienced teachers. We rely on Tess a lot.

Thanks for the update Jen! I'm sure you are aware of Coco's famous line that "lace is one of the prettiest imitations...of the fantasy of nature".
