[lace] Lace Stamp
Jeanette, Thanks you so much for my lace stamp. When my daughter got it out of the letter box she was very interested to find out who was posting me air mail. It was very exciting. Especially since the other letters were only window envelopes. Thanks for the info sheet too. You are extremely generous. Thanks again, Yvonne. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [lace] Re: lace in fashion
I thought that the lace looked lined with a skin tone lining. Not really to my taste though. It would accentuate the size of the wearers butt wouldn't it.

You would finish on the West Coast of America. In fact you would be better off starting in New Zealand. Then the east Coast of Australia then the weat coast of Australia and so forth.
