[lace] NEC Lace Fair
Well, I've just got out of bed feeling very tired after yesterday's trip to the Christmas Lacemakers Fair at the NEC in Birmingham. One person overslept and turned up late for the coach, so we didn't get on the road until 8.20 am instead of 8 am. Over an hour in a traffic jam because of roadworks on the A34 meant that we didn't arrive at the NEC until 1.00 pm. We did stop at Chievely Services for 20 minutes for a comfort break, where I bough a bucket of candy floss (cotton candy). Can't get it in Poole in spite of it being a seaside town, and I am rather partial to it. I didn't think the fair itself was as good as when we went 2 years ago. There seemed to be about half the number of suppliers and many fewer lacemakers. There's also the fact that I don't actually NEED anything anymore, so it's not as fascinating as it was. Still I did manage to spend Mr Brown's (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) winter fuel allowance of 100 pounds (plus a bit more). Trying to stick to spending the cash I'd taken, I suddenly realised that I didn't have enough cash for the taxi from where the coach would drop me off in Poole to my home. Fortunately there's an ATM in the NEC complex. On the way to it I passed the exhibition hall where the Clothes Show Live was being held. As I passed, I had a carrier bag thrust in my hand with Have a goody bag. Inside was a couple of spray cans of body spray, sachets and tubes of various skin lotions, a sachet of chocolate drink and a carton of chocolate drink. Again tried to badger Christine Springett into reproducing her 'Designing and Mounting Lace Fans' booklet because I'm not prepared to pay between 22 and 27 pounds for a 16 page booklet on ebay. But she still says she's got other things she wants to do first. My highlight was meeting Jaqui Southworth of Larkholme Lace, who gave me a wonderful hug. The journey home only took three and a half hours, including a 20 minute comfort break, again at Chievely Services, where I bought a second bucket of candy floss - well I won't be seeing any for at least another year and it will keep in it's sealed bucket.

RE: [lace] NEC Lace Fair
I made a late decision to go to the NEC this year for the first time since 2000. I too had the impression that there were fewer suppliers and not much new. I went because I wanted a honiton pillow stand and I knew Reg Beasant was going to be exhibiting. I thought I'd save postage - but car park charge at the NEC is more or less the same as postage would have been! But I did manage to compare his stuff with the rest and confirmed what I needed to. So I was very happy from very early on in the day (arrived about 5mins before the doors opened. It was great to see Jackie too and I bought lots more things that I don't really need (can't resist those bobbins!) But I think it'll a few years before I go again so I treated myself to a Richard Gravestock box - it'll look so much better in the lounge than a Tupperware box for my current project thread, scissors, thimble its etc. (Thank you Santa!)

Re: [lace] NEC Lace Fair
Hi Jean and all spiders I did not manage to get to NEC this year but I am glad you enjoyed yourself, never mind about spending Mr Brown's money, after all like me, I expect you contributed well while working and you can always make lace twice as fast to try and keep warm in the winter months.

[lace] Painting with bobbin lacers in Amsterdam
Angela - de-lurking after a very long time. Will tell you why in a later letter. Gon Homburg wrote: Last week an article was published in our newspaper about a painting of Cornelis de Vos. It was purchased by a museum in Amsterdam, called Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder. In English the museum is called Our Lord in the Attic. Originally it was a Roman Catholic church, called St. Nicholas Church. The painting they bought is about the legend of St. Nicholas, who was a bishop in Myra, Turkey. On this painting a father with three daughters. Two of them are making bobbin lace. This reminds me of a painting in York Minster, I do not know the artist, but it shows St Nicholas outside a house looking in through a window. Inside a father sits on a chair, while in a bed are his three daughters, you can see their heads poking out. On the window-sill outside, St. Nicholas has placed a bag of money. One legend says that St. Nicholas, who was the patron saint of children, was concerened for very poor or orphaned girls, who without money for a Dowry, were unable to get married. He collected money from the rich for this purpose, but did not want to be seen giving money to the girls. One story says he climbed onto the roof and dropped it down the chimney! So maybe this is the origin of Santa Claus ( derived from St. Nicholas) coming down the chimney.

So maybe this is the origin of Santa Claus ( derived from St. Nicholas) coming down the chimney. another version is he told the father to put the girls' shoes/socks (it varies) outside - and the next morning there were gold coins in the shoes/socks. I like to think that is the source of the tradition of putting gold-foil-covered chocolate coins in the children's stockings at Christmas. In the painting , interesting that the despondent father has two daughters making bobbin lace - the third one gazing out at us is doing another sort of handwork, has a cushion on her lap and a cloth - is she embroidering? doing needlelace? -- bye for now Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bev wrote: Did anyone see the 'feature' - Ann Collier's fans? Yes.She had most, if not all, of her fans displayed on screens, so you could walk inside them and they forma a sort of gallery around you. She was there to answer any questions and talk to people about them and fan making. I think it was a success. I only had a cursory look because I'd had a chat with her a few years ago when she attended Christchurch, Hampshire (or is it Dorset?) lace day. Then the fans were displayed on a table, and we could look at them from both sides. She also gave a talk then about what inspired each one and how she'd made them.

[lace] Knitted lace
Hi All, I have a question at the end that isn't quite lace so I'll start off with the fact that Diane Willett, knitted lace editor for the IOLI Bulletin, was my roommate in Denver. I got to see the beautiful pieces of lace she has knitted including a gorgeous doily with a butterfly in the center. I think that was the big winner for a previous IOLI competition. I also got to see some of the samplers she has her class make. She taught classes in knitted lace and color in knitted lace. She has the same comment I have about Battenberg, to paraphrase Rodney Dangerfield - knitted lace don't get no respect G. I also got to see the gift Pene Piip brought her from Estonia! The not quite lacy thing is that I got a knitting needle/crochet hook holder. It's fabric (something I think of as Rep though I may be wrong) and has a label that says it's a Sara Hadley needlecase. She takes credit for creating Battenberg lace so that's why I bid on it. Anyway, there are many, many knitting needles of all sizes including lots of steel ones. Also a bone crochet hook! (Maybe two) What I would like more information on is four knitting needles 6-5/8 long (17cm) and 1/8 (3cm) wide. The main color is ecru and they each have a red and a blue end. The color is on the last inch (2.5cm) of the tips. I tried Googling for more information but got about two million websites. There are new needles/hooks in the case but some older. I like the needles with little plastic mushroom caps on them G. Time to go start dinner. For the lace chatters - there are no mushrooms involved G. Jane in Vermont, USA where we got an inch of snow (2.5cm), I'm glad I can think of all of you Downunder having summer!

[lace] Lace in New Zealand
Elizabeth asked what lacey things would be available in the Auckland area over the Christmas period when she will be there. I am not in Auckland, so there should be other Arachneans who can answer this question better than I can, but I can comment that the Christmas period is when New Zealand goes on holiday and most groups will have stopped meeting through both December and January. So I am afraid that there will not be much on during the time Elizabeth is here, at least not exhibitions or lace days. However someone in the Auckland area might be pleased to spend a bit of time with her. If you came as far down the North Island as Masterton, I would love to meet you!

[lace-chat] :-) London tube announcements
Can't remember if we've had these before, but, if we have, it must have been a long time ago. The tube is London's underground railway system. A list of actual announcements that London Tube train drivers have (supposedly) made to their passengers... 1) Ladies and Gentlemen, I do apologize for the delay to your service. I know you're all dying to get home, unless, of course, you happen to be married to my ex-wife, in which case you'll want to cross over to the Westbound and go in the opposite direction. 2) Your delay this evening is caused by the line controller suffering from E B syndrome: not knowing his elbow from his backside. I'll let you know any further information as soon as I'm given any. 3) Do you want the good news first or the bad news? The good news is that last Friday was my birthday and I hit the town and had a great time. The bad news is that there is a points failure somewhere between Stratford and East Ham, which means we probably won't reach our destination. 4) Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for the delay, but there is a security alert at Victoria station and we are therefore stuck here for the foreseeable future, so let's take our minds off it and pass some time together. All together now 'Ten green bottles, hanging on a wall.'. 5) We are now travelling through Baker Street... As you can see, Baker Street is closed. It would have been nice if they had actually told me, so I could tell you earlier, but no, they don't think about things like that. 6) Beggars are operating on this train. Please do NOT encourage these professional beggars. If you have any spare change, please give it to a registered charity. Failing that, give it to me. 7) During an extremely hot rush hour on the Central Line, the driver announced in a West Indian drawl: Step right this way for the sauna, ladies and gentleman... unfortunately, towels are not provided. 8) Let the passengers off the train FIRST! (Pause .) Oh go on then, stuff yourselves in like sardines, see if I care - I'm going home 9) Please allow the doors to close. Try not to confuse this with 'Please hold the doors open.' The two are distinct and separate instructions. 10) Please note that the beeping noise coming from the doors means that the doors are about to close. It does not mean throw yourself or your bags into the doors. 11) We can't move off because some idiot has their hand stuck in the door. 12) To the gentleman wearing the long grey coat trying to get on the second carriage - what part of 'stand clear of the doors' don't you understand? 13) Please move all baggage away from the doors. (Pause..) Please move ALL belongings away from the doors. (Pause...) This is a personal message to the man in the brown suit wearing glasses at the rear of the train: Put the pie down, Four-eyes, and move your bl**dy golf clubs away from the door before I come down there and shove them up your ? 14) May I remind all passengers that there is strictly no smoking allowed on any part of the underground. However, if you are smoking a joint, it's only fair that you pass it round the rest of the carriage.

Another lot which we might have had a long time ago. - FROM BRITISH NEWSPAPERS 1) Commenting on a complaint from a Mr. Arthur Purdey about a large gas bill, a spokesman for North West Gas said, We agree it was rather high for the time of year. It's possible Mr. Purdey has been charged for the gas used up during the explosion that destroyed his house. (The Daily Telegraph) 2) Irish police are being handicapped in a search for a stolen van, because they cannot issue a description. It's a Special Branch vehicle and they don't want the public to know what it looks like. (The Guardian) 3) A young girl who was blown out to sea on a set of inflatable teeth was rescued by a man on an inflatable lobster. A coast guard spokesman commented, This sort of thing is all too common. (The Times) 4) At the height of the gale, the harbourmaster radioed a coastguard and asked him to estimate the wind speed. He replied he was sorry, but he didn't have a gauge. However, if it was any help, the wind had just blown his Land Rover off the cliff. (Aberdeen Evening Express) 5) Mrs. Irene Graham of Thorpe Avenue, Boscombe, delighted the audience with her reminiscence of the German prisoner of war who was sent each week to do her garden. He was repatriated at the end of 1945, she recalled. He'd always seemed a nice friendly chap, but when the crocuses came up in the middle of our lawn in February 1946, they spelt out 'Heil Hitler.'

I grew up in a perfectionist family and don't want to be one myself but some habits are ingrained. So, do you all just wash mushrooms when you cook with them or do you peel them?

[lace-chat] Peeling mushrooms
I only peel mushrooms if I've had them for a few days and the skin has gone a bit dry. Otherwise I only brush them. Cultivated mushrooms are grown in dark sheds in sterilised compost with the spores added. Any small bits of compost still on the mushrooms doesn't contain a lot of nasties. When I picked them wild from our field, when we had one, I still only brushed them on the grounds that they weren't covered in chemicals and anything else would be destroyed in the cooking.

I peel them only if they're old; the skin on young/fresh mushrooms is tasty. But I do remove the membrane which joins the cap to the stem, except on the tiniest of buttons; that tends to be a bit bitter in taste. Thanks for any help in battling this scourge - Perfectionism!! Nothing wrong with perfectionism, IMO, if there's a purpose to it (like: make the best piece of lace you can). But, peeling perfectly healthy mushrooms doesn't make sense, either from the point of view of taste or looks. So it's not perfectionism, it's an atavisitic, unquestioning, action - that's how it has always been done in my family.
