Arachne Lace is usually quiet at this time of year, but thankfully we had lots of digests in the last week, even if it was mainly about the survey.  I tried to generate a digest before the IOLI convention by sending a long chatty post, but unfortunately I received that digest on Thursday, after the Arachne lunch on the Monday.  I hope I did not offend anyone with my long post.  Lace Chat seems to have died as I can't remember the last time I got a reflected message on Chat.  Maybe I have been kicked off and it is going strong. Let me know if that is the case. Anyway, the talk about lace design got me thinking about what will happen to all my original lace designs I have made for conventions and lace magazines.  At present most are stored in an archival box or are hanging around the house.  The latest winner at IOLI is hanging on my family room wall.  Not too many are on show as we downsized and have less wall space.  I wonder what my kids will do with my stuff once I "pop my clogs" as I used to say in England.  Is there an outlet to sell my lace pieces somewhere?  I still like to buy books, bobbins and thread, so if there is a way of financing my splurges, it would be nice to find it.  Next question is how much would I ask for an original lace piece?  I have no idea how to go about it.  Do any other lace designers have outlets for their pieces?  I am not savvy enough to build a website to sell online. Any ideas for this new topic while I am still young enough to deal with it?Janice Janice Blair Murrieta, CA, www.jblace.comÂ
