Subject: [lace] Exciting find!
Last weekend, I attended the North Carolina Regional Lacers' Spring Lace
Day. As always, it was great fun!..there was an area for lacemakers to sell
lacemaking supplies they no longer use. A friend was there, selling the
last of the things from Betty Ann Rice. I glanced into a box of old
bobbins, and a spangle caught my eye... could it be?
It was a tiny bone spy glass... And yes! It was a Stanhope! The image was
barely visible, but I was very excited to find it. The amazing thing is
that so many people had been through those bobbins in the past year and no
one else had noticed it. I suppose our discussion last week about Stanhopes
was fresh in my mind, so I knew it when I saw it.
After getting home with it and looking at it carefully, I realized the lens
was coated with grime. After carefully cleaning it, I can now see four
drawings with titles! There is "King's Road", "The Aquarium", "Palace
Pier", and "The Beach". There appear to be two other pictures below the
four, but all that is visible are the tops of the drawings.
Any ideas where these places are? The bobbin has "British 8th Navy" written
on it with the name of someone who died in 1981.
