Thanks Karen I started looking the same time as you and I'd already spotted it and am bidding on it - cross your fingers for me! jenny barrob Scotland Karen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Have just noticed on ebay there is a copy of Further Steps in Honiton Lace.

[lace] Gremlins
I have just received notice of another number transposition in 2-Pair Inventions - same page (15), #s 2 and 3. Darn and blast it! But, I'm in good company when it comes silly mistakes... :) When Jill Treeves (she who signs at Heathrow, near London) visited here, I gave her one of my Windrose I baubles as a souvenir. At the time, stuffed to the gills with cold, I didn't think to offer the *pattern* as well (usually of more interest to most lacemakers; it's more fun to make than to receive g). But, in the follow up correspondence, I did offer it, thinking she might like it. She sounded eager, so I started looking for the relevant issue of the IOLI Bulletin; I'm not the best of housekeepers, and not all of the magazines are filed in their proper places as yet. The most recent issue of the Bulletin was one of the unfiled ones, and came to hand first. Since it had Windrose II in it, all I had to do was to check the volume and issue number to find out where the Windrose I was (the one before). Windrose II is in vol. 24, #4, so off I go to the files, and piull out vol. 24, #3. And Windrose I isn't in it! What the... Halloween is long past, so how come my Windrose I has been tricked away? I know I've seen the Bulletin with it published... Finally, I locate the issue with Windrose I (different pile of unfiled magazines g). It's vol. 24, #4... :) There *is* a difference between the two not quite twins: one's vol. 24, #4, Summer 2004, the other is vol. 24, #4 Fall 2004. It is quite obvious that gremlins don't work to union hours... :) --- Tamara P Duvall http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace] digital cameras
Bev wrote: ...For a *lace* tool, the decision to buy a digital camera was a good one. I use it more than I would have thought, the main factor being the immediate results. I use it to examine a piece of antique lace, where the screen resolution is easier for me to see than a magnifying glass. I can then print a picture (in black and white to save ink) and draw on it, or snail mail it to someone Thanks, Bev, that's a great suggestion. I certainly agree you couldn't do that with a normal camera!I've parked your email to remember later, if I get one.

[lace] placing sender's address on envelopes
Tamara wrote: ...I have lots of issues with the US's do it my way or take the highway attitude, but the placing of the address label isn't one of them :) it does make sense, if you're trying to have millions of pieces of mail processed, efficiently, by a dumb machine... I'm a great proponent of common sense :) Still raises the question, Tamara, of how come other countries can read the sender's addresses at the back with -probably- the same machines?... In Australia, we are required to put the Airmail sticker in the top left-hand corner. As far as I know, there are no stickers that combine AIRMAIL and sender's address on them :-)otherwise, I might buy them. I am quite happy for all the POs in the world to discuss the matter and decide that they are *all* going to ask their citizens to put the sender's address in the top left-hand corner (or wherever). I am less happy to know that my mail might be ditched out when I write to one country while it's OK in all the others...As you say, it's a small thing, but it is another irritant. I think I will put the sender's address on both back and front this Xmas, just to annoy everyone :-) helene, the froggy from Melbourne, with about 100 Xmas letters to go...

[lace-chat] Postage
Hi, I have had no problems with parcels that have been sent to me, they have all arrived safely and in the allotted time frame. I have not even had any opened by customs recently, but the few that have been opened (during the height of the terrorist scare) have been taped back up with tape that said Opened by Customs. Maybe I am just lucky.

[lace-chat] Top Tips
I love the flawed logic behind some of these. Happens in real life too. My local council has removed some undercover seating in the town, which is used by the holiday makers, elderly and disabled. During the night and sometimes when the weather's not so good, the seats are used by drunks, who make a real nuisance of themselves. The council's solution to the problem of the drunks is to remove the seating. Applying the same flawed logic to the big problem they have of Canada Geese making a real mess in the town's main park, they should remove the park. Naturally, loving to get on my soapbox, I'm currently trying to get them to see this non-logic, and persuade them that it isn't the seats they need to get rid of, but the drunks. I'm not having a lot of success. Jean in Poole To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The council's solution to the problem of the drunks is to remove the seating. A couple of years ago, there had been a rash of thefts at women's toilets at the Interstate rest stops. You'd hang your handbag on the hook provided (on the door in front of you) and, while you were helpless, you'd watch a hand reach over the door and remove it... Different rest stops found different solutions to the problem. Some installed a hook or a little shelf next to the toilet paper dispenser (and next to you) . Some moved the door hook about 6 further down - it would take a very tall simian to reach that far over the door. But my favourite solution is the real money saver: some rest stops simply removed the hooks altogether... :) --- Tamara P Duvall http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] :) Fwd: pirates and emperors
I may have removed the objectionable part of my signature as promised (by now, the die is cast, or it's after the mustard as we say in Polish), but that doesn't mean *I* have changed any. So, I found this quick and simplified lesson on history/politics which my son'd sent me quite amusing, though I expect it'll be as annoying as my erst-while sig to some. It's a film, and fairly long, so I'm not sure I'd recommend it to people without broadband. Also, it *definitely* requires sound - the pictures are cute, but it's the song (text) which is really illuminating. I was unable to raise the film from the original URL Danek'd sent me, so he's resent in two versions - a Mac and a WIndows one, and that's worked for me. Hope it works for y'all too From: D.D.
