Does anyone know what this is for? It looks old and interesting, but I am not sure it is anything to do with lacemaking.

[lace] Glass Character Divider Pins
Hi! I'm wondering if any of you know where I can buy divider pins with colorful glass characters on the top of them? I used to have a pincushion full of these beautiful divider pins that I collected over the years. We moved last fall. A few weeks later, I unpacked a few of my lacemaking things but not everything. The pins were in their pincushion (a very beautiful & special one-of-a-kind pincushion) wrapped in brown packing paper along with everything else. I remember unwrapping them & then wrapping them again & setting them aside. I also remember unwrapping several items I needed at that time & then taking all the paper & stuffing it into a garbage bag & repacking the items I didn't need right then back into the boxes. A couple of months ago I decided to unpack the rest of my lace items, but the pincushion was nowhere to be found. I was, & still am, sick to my stomach when thinking about it because apparently I scooped up the wrapped pins & pincushion in with the other wrappings that one fateful day & threw it away I am now trying my best to replace some of those pins although I know some are irreplaceable. Holly Van Sciver no longer carries them. I have tried to contact Snowgoose several times without any response (is everything okay there?). They are the only two suppliers I knew of who offered these divider pins. Is anyone else offering them now? Blessings, Shirlee __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [lace] Ebay Item
I am wondering if it is a old fashioned swift? Wind the thread around it straight from the spinning wheel, tie off and lift upwards to have a hank of thread? Reverse the process when you want to wind the thread off the hank onto bobbins. Just an idea.

Re: [lace] Glass Character Divider Pins
Hello Shirlee The onyl one I can think of is Tuffnell glass in UK. I did look at their website, but it is not very user friendly. Webaddress is: www.tuffnellglass.com/ In search, type lace bobbins Scroll down, and you'll come to "novelty divider pins". On the right click on more details. Unfortunately it does not give you any pictures of them, but it may be worth trying to contact them and ask. Agnes Boddington - Elloughton UK Shirlee Hill wrote: Hi!

[lace] Glass Character divider pins.
> Hi Shirlee, I used to buy Glass Animal divider pins through Bronte Beads, the lady there, Kathy Brewer, knew the man that made these beautiful pins in a wide variety of animals. If he didn't make a particular animal that you wanted then he would do his best to produce one to order. I never knew the makers own address. You could try contacting Kathy Brewer at the address below in England to see if she can still get these pins. It could be that the man that made them has retired or is no longer around and perhaps this is why the suppliers you have tried already no longer stock them. Kathy Brewer will be able to tell you I am sure. Bronte Beads - Beads 57 Fall Lane Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. WF13 2SP 0924 464141 The only other supplier of Glass Animal divider pins is Tuffnell Glass in the UK http://www.tuffnellglass.com/ But the site does not show pictures of these animals. Of the two manufacturers that I bought from in the past, the first of these mentioned above was the best.

The best of all worlds is a codex with a CD in the back -- but how about a CD with a codex in the back?

[lace] What's going on in Brazil?
Spiders I am satisfied with all considerations. It is very good have feedback of incentives and colaboration. We feel that we are moving in the right direction. For the fact of finding something strange, it is another benefit that arachne.com bring to us: learning to live with the differences. Thanks, Tamara, for the effective contribution, and Jeri Ames for the sweet shelter. I think, Jeri, we can make a virtual museum of teneriffe lace (double "ff", now Ilearned why with Aurelia and Joy). I have some pieces. One (I think) of 1940's, from Bolivia, a beautifull exemple. I have anothers exemples. We all could learn with it.

[lace] OT: Sad news of lacemaker passing away
Dear lacers, It is with heavy heart that I tell you that my beloved friend and lace teacher, Christy Holtkamp, who many of you know through IOLI and else where, passed away today(27 Oct.) at 10:10 am CST. She was a spry 85 years young. She has been through a lot lately with the passing of her husband a year ago and then struggling herself and just recently has been battling many illnesses. She is now in a better place and with her maker and will be making the best and prettiest lace ever with her heavenly pillow. Please take a time of silence and prayer for her family.

Re: [lace] Torchon Workbook by Cook opening bid $66.99
I think this was offered before, and not taken. I don't think it's showing current value of lace books, but rather someone's hopeful speculation. The same edition has recently been offered by others for under $20. Our local lacemakers like this book for beginning students. I frequently shop for copies on the net, including eBay. I certainly won't pay $66 for a copy. When I no longer can get copies, we'll just have to choose a different beginning book. There are some very nice patterns in the book, as well as a set of basic instructions given in the form of bookmarks.
