[lace] Re:back home from OIDFA
Dear All, we had a wonderful time in France. There wasn't a arachne meeting but I met for the first time some ladies from the list I didn't know personally before. We had nice chats and laughed a lot. The rooms for the exhibitions in the congress centre, the poppy-project and the competition pieces, were unfortunately so small that the things couldn't be regarded well. I am afraid I can't tell you much about. There is an exhibition on the former castle about laces in Normandy which is such wonderful I spent over three hours there. It's till september. If anybody is coming to France now don't hesitate going there. Greetings Ilske - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Idrija lace supplies
I got a bunch of large bobbins with a couple of kits...I don't know if they are a specific type of bobbin, but the ladies in my area call the clunkers. They are 5+ inches long and use them to do Idrija lace all the time...though I don't use a bolster. I tried and my bobbins got tangled too much. SO I use a large flat pillow. *shrug* I did find the following places you can maybe get what you want. http://www.bobbinmaker.com/idrijabobbins.html http://www.designsbymarguccio.com/bobbins.htm Here's a lace group you might contact http://www.blen.net/segunda.htm%20http://www.blen.net/segunda.htm Also OIDFA might have someone who can help ya. You might try contacting the Idrija lace school and see if they can put you in touch with a suppler. http://www.cipkarskasola.si/ANG/index.html Good luck!

Re: [lace] Large Spanish or Idrija bobbins
In reply to a request for large bobbins: Is anyone going to the Bobowa (Poland) bobbin lace festival October 3-7? They use the large bobbins and I am sure will have vendors. Unfortunately I'll be heading back to the States at that time. Didn't know the dates this year. Maybe next year I try to include this in my schedule.

[lace] Lace Magazine
G'day all, My English Lace magazine arrived here in Masterton, New Zealand, yesterday. Say, for the sake of argument that it was posted on the last day of April, it has taken two and a half months to get here!! I was on the point of e-mailing the Hollies to say I had been missed off the list. It seems to me that they are using the cheapest postage rate they can, in an effort to reduce costs. It was my understanding that there is now no sea mail between NZ and UK, but there must some really old airplanes on this route if it is taking so long!!! The thing that alerted me to the fact that my mag had not yet arrived was that I was aware that subs were due and I usually paid mine by the end of June. Hopefully they won't take us off the mailing list just yet!!

[lace] Lace Magazine
Sue, Please accept the Guild's apologies for the long delay, and thank you for your patience. We suspect that the overseas magazines were sent out surface mail by the mailing house (which should not have happened), and they may not have been processed as quickly as we would have liked before posting - as you quite rightly say they should have been posted at the end of April. Certainly items can still be sent from the UK by surface mail, which tends to take around six to eight weeks. We discussed possible solutions to this problem at our Exec meeting last weekend and hopefully you will receive your magazines a lot faster from now on - the first issue of the new membership year is due out at the end of this month, and we are well aware that there may be some late renewals!. If any other overseas members of The Lace Guild have not received their April magazine (which had the renewal slip sent with it) yet, can they contact the Hollies, please? Email holl...@laceguild.org Membership rates are the same as last year, as they were not increased at the AGM.

RE: [lace] Lace Magazine
The problem may not necessarily have been the mailing house at all - but some sort of delay/oversight of one of the postal services involved along the route.I received my April issue of Lace here in Australia quite promptly. However, only about a month ago, I also received a letter sent before Christmas from a friend in England .. it had inadvertently been sent to Thailand before being redirected onto Australia.We're well used to mail for Australia being sent to Austria, but Thailand is a first!

And... since Thailand has had so much disruption due to the floods last year, the redirection to that country makes no sense at all!!!

Re: [lace] Idrija lace supplies
Thanks, Robin, and to all who answered my inquiry about Spanish or Idrija bobbins. There are a lot of beautiful bobbins out there. I found what I was looking for at Realce, very reasonably priced. Of course the air shipping was a lot, but the total price was still reasonable. As always, this group is a wonderful resource. Thanks!

Re: [lace] Lace Magazine
I think, if you can see the postage date on the label, it would be useful to send the date to The Guild. Mine appeared to have been mailed in the middle of June. I'm sure that the Guild would be interested to learn the mailing date if you can read it. Malvary in Ottawa where it was only 32c today. Going up to 34 tomorrow and 36 on Saturday. The heat is nice, BUT please, we need some rain. Last rain was 3 weeks ago.
