Thank you Susan for putting up the page for me. Perhaps I should explain how it 
came about.

More years ago than I care to count, on a visit to the lace shop in Honiton I 
purchased a collection of assorted old lace samples. 
All were small pieces of only one or two pattern repeats, and most were mounted 
on various coloured pieces of paper, and had identification written on the 
reverse. Included among the samples were these two marked as being 'Old Ripon'. 

All I need now is for some kind soul to explain how I can add pictures to my 
new page, after nearly forty years of collecting lace making 'stuff' I'm sure 
I've more to offer.
