[lace] Lace in New Zealand
Hello everyone, I'm leaving for New Zealand on 15th December to spend three weeks with my son and his girl friend. My lovely husband is staying at home to look after the house and cats, and suggested that I take my mother with me. We are both lacemakers - bobbin and needlelace. Are there any lace related happenings in the Auckland area around this time? Liz Pass In Poole, Dorset. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

[lace] Lace Guild Website - December update
We have just updated the Lace Guild website with extracts of Lace Magazine for October, a festive Christmas tassel on the Young Lacemakers page, and the usual events and suppliers updates and ... ... the Lace Guild Advent Calendar for 2005. Some of you will be familiar with this, but for those who are not: This is an interactive advent calendar which you get to by clicking on the sprig of green holly on the top menu bar of The Lace Guild website home page http://www.laceguild.org. You use your mouse to open the windows, but you can only open the windows up to the current date (so no cheating is possible unless you are a hacker) where you are rewarded with a lace-related picture. I'm afraid you need javascript (scripting) turned on in your web browser for this to work, so there may be the odd work computer that will not let you open the windows. Three of the days have links to small lace patterns - but you'll have to wait a few days for the first. There's also a competition with prizes. This year it is to identify the country of origin of some lace headdresses from traditional costumes. The countries are all European, but North Americans etc. should not be discouraged as we Europeans don't walk around dressed like this all the time (I certainly don't) so we don't really have an advantage. To make it easier there is a drop-down list of countries to choose from. (To make it more difficult there are twice as many countries as pictures.) Some of you might like to try your 'Googling' skills to find the answers (no that isn't traditional European whistling in the dark - you're thinking of yodeling). That's about it. If you have any problems email us and we'll try to sort them out. If you can't see the holly or the text link, try refreshing your browser. The date at the bottom of the page should be 30th November. Best wishes, Jean and David (in Glasgow) PS The calendar may be slow to display first time because it's loading all the pictures in the background. Subsequently it should have them in its 'memory store' and come up more quickly. PPS There is also a French language version of the Advent Calendar, thanks to all our volunteer translators. -- Lace Guild home page: http://www.laceguild.org (alternative if problems: http://www.laceguild.demon.co.uk/) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [lace] BEWARE - Gorgeous Antique Beaded Bone Lace Bobbin *Circa1830 (6224228813)
Regarding the ebay item: http://cgi.ebay.com/Gorgeous-Antique-Beaded-Bone-Lace-Bobbin-Circa1830_W0QQitemZ6224228813QQcategoryZ114QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I have pulled the picture of this bobbin up over and over again, and each time I am more convinced that it is an old bobbin! I am not sure why people think it is not. Whether it is a Haskins bobbin or not, even the seller does not say for certain. As far as heads being a criteria, you will see a trend in the head shape that is helpful in identifying a maker, but keep in mind that sometimes a bobbin maker deviates a little from the shape...even in my Archer bobbins, I counted 5 that had different tails! My first love in lacemaking was the old bobbins. I owned 2 old bobbins before I ever wound thread on a plastic one to learn how to use them! Once at a Lace Day I discussed an old bobbin that had an unusual spangle with an expert on bobbins The question was whether or not the spangle was original, and her reply was that she could not say for sure because a lot can happen to a bobbin in 150 years!! (regarding the maker of my bobbin, she said that she was pretty certain it was a Haskins bobbin) Goodness gracious! I have changed the spangles on my new bobbins so many times it could make your head spin. Does the fact that it is not the original spangle lower its value? I'm not sure that it would always be the case. It would if the beads were not contemporary with the bobbin, but otherwise who could say it was not the original spangle? What makes a bobbin valuable? There are several things I look for before I buy a bobbin. I want it to be pretty. I have a love for pretty things (probably why I make lace) and the bobbins are a big part of that. I also choose them for their usability. If I can not use it, then I do not want it. I am sure some people would want it for its history, but if I am going to spend my money on a bobbin, I want to use it. I have left my bobbins unused once, and when I pulled them out to reuse them, they were getting dry and dull! Using the bobbin not only keeps the finish but the life of the bobbin going strong. I was told it was the oils in our skin. If I was looking for a beaded bobbin, then I might have considered the one up for auction here. I do feel the shank has been repaired. If the repair is good, then I am not so sure the value would be affected. I thought this one looked very good. I have an old one and the beads are very much alike. My bobbin is missing most of its beads, but it is still pretty and usable and also fit into the third criteria I use in purchasing a bobbin. The price was right for me. So with those three things in mind, I look at bobbins; any bobbin, new or old. Is it pretty? Is it usable for me and the kind of lace I make? Is the price one I can feel good about paying? When you buy a bobbin on ebay, is there a guarantee? Are you allowed to get your money back if you are not satisfied? I think most of the questions about how genuinely old a bobbin is can be answered when you hold it in your hands. Still, by sight alone, this bobbin looked to be a genuine antique to me. I feel sad that the seller has been portrayed as though they were trying to decieve someone into buying something that was not what they described it to be.

[lace] BEWARE - Gorgeous Antique Beaded Bone Lace Bobbin *Circa1830 (6224228813)
After reading Debbie's message, I went in and had a look at the bobbin in question as curiosity got the better of me. I have one with more or less identical beading (so how old are those beads? - I haven't come across anything modern as tiny) which are in lines of about an inch long but the bobbin itself is straight, rather than shaped, and both above and below the points where the wire is wrapped round the shank above and below the beads, which are in lines of about an inch long, there are about five (the bobbin is on my pillow in the other room, and I've already gone and looked at it again twice!) consecutive grooves round the circumference of the bobbin. The long neck measures about half an inch, if that. The head is narrower at the tip than across the bulb below the short neck (very similar to Stuart Johnson's heads, but the short neck is very slightly longer). The spangle is attached with a silver coloured wire, so almost definitely replaced at some stage, although the spangle beads do not appear modern. As to the colour of the bone, mine is much lighter in colour (almost as if you had just cooked it!) from the beads to the head than from the beads to the tail (decidedly yellowed). On the other hand, this (lower) is the area that would be handled more, so would likely change colour quicker. I paid 26 pounds for mine, at an antique fair in London, in 1998. It was amongst about a dozen or so others (of which I bought another, slightly cheaper and plainer bone bobbin), with no description as to age or maker, I bought it because I liked it, and its condition meant it would be usable. To me it is a nice tool, not a collectable item! -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] Re: Fake bobbins
Bryn Phillips repaired a number of bobbins for me over the years, and he once remarked that it would be dead easy to fake an antique bobbin. I never did ask him for details. My trips to England usually entailed carting home as many bobbins as I could, from where ever I could find them. One really bad experience I had, though, involved beads - I purchased a large lot at auction from Christie's, and when the goods arrived, every single bead had been stripped off the bobbins, though the catalog showed spangled bobbins. Christie's refused to take the bobbins back. It was the last time I purchased anything from them, and I have always hoped that ebay would put them out of business.

[lace-chat] Kids in Church
Kid's In Church Real comments made by children Jesus' Dad's Name A Sunday school teacher asked her class, What was Jesus' mother's name? One child answered, Mary. The teacher then asked, Who knows what Jesus' father's name was? A little kid said, Verge. Confused, the teacher asked, Where did you get that? The kid said, Well, you know they are always talking about Verge n' Mary.'' ** * Kids In Church 3-year-old, Reese: Our Father, Who does art in heaven, Harold is His name. Amen. ** * Little Boy Praying A little boy was overheard praying: Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am. ** * The Last Commandment A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments. They were ready to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if anyone could tell her what it was. Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted, Thou shall not take the covers off the neighbor's wife. ** ** A Christian Home After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy replied, That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, and I wanted to stay with you guys. ** *** Deliver Us From Evil I had been teaching my three-year old daughter, Caitlin, the Lord's Prayer for several evenings at bedtime, she would repeat after me the lines from the prayer. Finally, she decided to go solo. I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word right up to the end of the prayer: Lead us not into temptation, she prayed, but deliver us some E-mail. ** ** Forgive Us Our Traspasses One particular four-year-old prayed, And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets. ** *** Quiet In Church A Sunday school teacher asked her children, as they were on the way to church service, And why is it necessary to be quiet in church? One bright little girl replied, Because people are sleeping. ** ** The 2 Ushers Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother Joel were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had had enough. You're not supposed to talk out loud in church. Why? Who's going to stop me? Joel asked. Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, See those two men standing by the door? They're hushers. ** * Moral Lesson A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, 5 and Ryan 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.' Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, Ryan, you be Jesus! ** ** Died And Went To Heaven A father was at the beach with his children when the four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore where a seagull lay dead in the sand. Daddy, what happened to him? the son asked. He died and went to Heaven, the Dad replied. The boy thought a moment and then said, Did God throw him back down? ** *** Dinner Blessing A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, Would you like to say the blessing? I wouldn't know what to say, the girl replied. Just say what you hear Mommy say, the wife answered. The daughter bowed her head and said, Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner? _ This email was cleaned by emailStripper, available for free from http://www.papercut.biz/emailStripper.htm -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.

I'll be posting the invitations to join the next round - (January-June 06) over the coming weekend. Won't do it now as being 11:30pm here I'm sure to make silly mistakes. Just watch out for the application message in the next few days. This will be the last round of secret pals that I organize. I think it will be my fourth and I need a break!

The secret pal round lasts six months. December is the last month of this round. Soon, someone will ask for people who want to participate for the next six months. The rules will be listed. If you are interested, you answer that email. Then you send an anonymous gift once a month for six months to the person you are assigned. Someone else sends to you. It's supposed to be fun, not expensive. The thank you messages are sent to Lace-chat so the sender can see that it arrived safely. The last month, the sender's name is revealed -- with email -- and the last thank you is supposed to be sent directly to the sender. Thus, you shouldn't see as many thank you messages in December on Chat. Watch for information on the next round. Alice in Oregon -- where snow is predicted for tomorrow which is lace meeting day.
