[lace] Barcelona
Just got back from a Mediterranean cruise which started with a few days in Barcelona.  I had asked before on Arachne about lace in Barcelona and was provided with two shops that may have had something to see.  Casa Felix on Pl. Villa de Madrid, 4 had a couple of Bridget Cook books in Spanish which I already had in English.  The guy there said that was all he had for bobbin lace, it looked more like a fabric shop.  Merceria Santana, Avenida Portal de L'Angel, 26, had some thread but that was all I could see. DH didn't seem fazed by the bras and panties on sale when he went in with me. I was unable to get to Arenys to see the museum as there was so much else to see in Barcelona plus our visit was during the end of summer festival so there was much more going on in the city than normal.  We enjoyed the evening parades and demonstrations of local music and dancing. Had a lovely time at Pisa, in Rome and at Pompeii.  So much to see, but no lace, and as we were on organized tours we had no time to explore. I can check off places that were on my bucket list. I was grateful the list was quiet while I was away as I had so many personal emails to deal with.Janice  Janice Blair Murrieta, CA, jblace.com - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] metallic equivalent?
I just came across a pattern that uses Moravia metallic 80/2 and I can't find any information about it, other than ordering it from Moravia. Does anyone know what metallic would be close to it? Brenda's book only lists 40/2 and 60/2 for the Moravia metallic, but not the 80/2. Any help would be appreciated. thanks, *Marianne* Marianne Gallant Vernon, BC Canada m...@shaw.ca http://threadsnminis.blogspot.ca, https://www.facebook.com/GallantCreation/ - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Lace Group scam -- warning
Alice, Sorry your guild was hit, and thank you for a heads up! At first I thought about whether or not there was a receipt, but then it occurred to me that we (my local guild) have requests for funds within the guild for upcoming costs - such as when we fund a teacher's travel - therefore no receipt. I'll forward your message to my guild's executive committee.

[lace] Lace Group scam -- warning
This just happened to my lace group in the USA. My treasurer received an email from "me" requesting a check mailed immediately. When questioned, the scammer said it was for supplies for PLS from a vendor. Send the check to Ann Carpenter in Reno, Nevada. It was over $1000. A couple emails later, my treasurer changed the subject line on an email and it came to me instead of the scammer. My reply of puzzlement let my treasurer take action before damage was done. The whole bank account was closed and will be reopened today with a new number. Also, she's filing a police report with name and address of scammer, plus info that the mailed check would be delivered Friday. I don't think my computer was hacked. I think someone researched lace groups and pulled out the president and treasurer's emails and group name. Be sure you have procedures set up to verify billings to your lace group before sending checks. This could happen to any organizaation.

Re: [lace] help finding books
Hi Sharon, A search on Google produced these leads: April Lind's page on the ning group LACEIOLI: laceioli.ning.com/profile/AprilLind?xg_source=activity She says the first book is out of print, but you might message her directly if that's the one you want, and you can probably buy the second directly from her. The other link that might be of interest is to an entry for the second booklet: www.brandis.com.au/arachne/covers/Book032.html You might ask Jenny about the books in case she knows a source for the first one--I don't think she is on Arachne anymore so won't see your message. HTH, Nancy back in Connecticut, USA, but not for long -- Ithaca lace days this weekend!!
