[lace] Urgent help needed to identify object

2008-11-14 Thread Malvary J Cole
Sorry to post to both boards, but sister Jacquie has asked me to post the
following pictures for some urgent help in identifying this object.  She
urgently needs to find out what this is before the end of the weekend.

http://good-times.webshots.com/album/568383048jvtGIk

Here is the text of her message to me - she is away this weekend

Just arrived at Dover and been shown this thing by Pat Read. What is
it, she wants to know, and was sure I would know. Well, I haven't a
clue but do know the way we might fond out. .

It is NOT a bobbin display thingy (no slots for the necks). On the top
ring there are small holes on top, at the sides and grooves on the
back (see photos). The top comes off but I don't think it should.

The base has holes on the top only.  Size is about the same as a bobbin
display.

Thanks for all your help.  I bet someone knows what it is.

Malvary in Ottawa on behalf of Jacquie who lives in Stamford but who is in
Dover for the weekend.

Hello Malvary,
it looks like the thing for working with hairs. In German it's Jatte  
or something like this word, sorry. But the thing on your pictures  
look as if it is not as high as what I think.

Hi Malvary,

My sister had something very similar that she displayed her antique hat pins
on, perhaps this is what it is

[lace] Spider Raffle

2008-11-14 Thread Clay Blackwell

Dear Spiders,

I have done a high tech drawing for the raffle.  I first made a list 
of all of the 39 people who entered the raffle, in the order that I 
received their emails.  Then I went to Random.org and selected the list 
randomizer.  I entered numbers 1 through 39, and then had the list 
randomized.  The first three numbers on the list were the winners.


The winners of the spider ornaments are:

Noelene Lafferty
Tamara Duvall
and Merie Lettieri

I have Tamara's and Merie's addresses.  Noelene, if you'll send me your 
mailing address, I'll get these little arachnids out in the mail on Monday!!


It was fun to have so many emails this past week!  I should do this more 
often!!

[lace] Retournac

2008-11-14 Thread Tess Parrish
I am not sure what the rules are about mentioning a commercial  
venture on Arachne, but i have just received an email from the museum  
at Retournac asking me to post their latest information to those on  
Arachne who might be interested to know that they are now publishing  
in english.


The URL for the newsletter in English is: http://www.ville- 
retournac.fr/musee/anglais/actualites/2008/news5/newsletter.html


I visited the museum some years ago when they were just getting  
started, and even then it was a remarkable place, well worth the  
effort of getting there and staying for a bit to see all they have to  
offer.  I know others have been there as well and enjoyed it as much  
as I did, so I hope it is all right to post this message. Obviously,  
I have no interest in this other than that of any lacemaker:  it is  
nice to see a museum able to succeed as well as they seem to be doing.


Tess ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) in Maine USA, where autumn is upon us with  
cooler temperatures and leaves all fallen.  I was surprised to  
receive photos of my French grandchildren playing in the recent  
snowfall that they had there.  I certainly thought we would get snow  
before they did!
