a professor emeritas of modern language used to live next door to me. I asked him, "Are you French or German". He replied, "Neither, I am Alsacean" I said . " Oh, as in Alsace-Lprraine?"He very emphatically answered, "There is no such place as Alcace- Lorraine! There is Alsace and there is Lorraine! I am from Alsace!" I never made that mistake again.

I like to make and research laces that come from the places my ancestors grew up. Not that they were lacemakers themselves..... ......wonder if any of you knowledgeable lacemakers know what kind of lace that was being made in the Alsace-Lorraine area in 1830s or before. Would like to know the kind of pillows, bobbins, lace type so that I can maybe replicate something for future display.
