[lace] Christmas Surprises!!

2009-12-18 Thread Clay Blackwell

My mail this week has brought a couple of special surprises to me!!

When I volunteered to organize the Card Exchange this year, I decided I 
probably should not also commit to making a card, so I didn't join the 
exchange.  When I saw the cards that Jenny posted, I was envious of all 
of you who received such nice cards!!


This week, Ilske Thomsen and Alice Howell each sent me a card with a 
special lace ornament!  I am so excited to have them on my tree now!


And we've just been socked with a snowstorm which promises to be pretty 
serious.  The ground was covered in less than an hour, and the wind is 
picking up.  It's unusual for Virginia to have blizzard conditions, but 
it looks like we might get them.  But the snow and new ornaments surely 
put me in the Christmas mood!


Thanks, everyone, for all the nice things you've said about my 
"organizing".  It was a pleasure, and not a difficult task at all.


Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to everyone!

Clay

I notice there is a link to paypal, to donate, now, at their website.

I did get a reply to that query,in the affirmative, when I wrote to ask.

Thank you for the update Milada, and everyone else who has sent the
announcements.

[lace] Kantcentrum and Brugge

2009-12-18 Thread Milada Marshall
Just a brief update -  the Kant magazine is being printed now (the 
December issue), and will continue, albeit in a new format/style.
The Summer School is going ahead - all bookings honoured (I believe, 
deposits for 2010 safe).

So the future is assured, with many plans being made, and new directors.
What a good way to end 2009

[lace] Lace for Dolls clothes

2009-12-18 Thread laceandbits
 A friend of mine is sorting out her mother's belongings and has come 
across three or four porcelain doll kits which came from George White, probably 
many years ago.  They include head, lower arms and legs, and wigs.  As I 
write this, I realise I have forgotten to ask her if the fabric for the upper 
limbs and body is in the pack.

She would like a small amount of money for them.  If you are in the UK and 
are interested, please write to me privately and I will pass on her phone 
number.

I think I am right in saying that Alexander Stillwell's next Bucks book 
will feature doll's clothes as an idea for using some of your lace, so don't 
miss this opportunity to have a doll ready to be dressed.
