Dear Susan,
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Boynton Beach could have a lace light art work
by the artist Tarmo Thorstrom who has been doing lace light works on the major
historical landmarks of Rauma, as you may have seen on the International
Organization of Lace’s Facebook page. Here is his website.

[lace] Rauma, Finland

2016-12-23 Thread Susan
A short article in the Palm Beach Post yesterday stated that Boynton Beach, 
Florida is now a sister city with Rauma.  The reporter mentioned several 
noteworthy facts about Rauma including--[fanfare] Lace Week.  "It's an annual 
event in July with music, dancing, traditional cooking & lace-making.  
Lace-making in Rauma goes back to the 1740s."  According to the reporter, there 
are 10,000 to 12,000 Finnish residents in Palm Beach County!  In an effort to 
identify some who make lace, I emailed the reporter, mentioning Eeva-Liisa 
Kortelahti & Pella linen thread.  It would be a hoot if lacemakers are found & 
a lace event is organized!  Stay tuned.  Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA

[lace] Christmas Exchange

2016-12-23 Thread Sue Duckles
Hi all

This is a message for Lin and my other exchange partners.  I received my
package posted by your friend today Lin!!  It's beautiful!  A bobbin with
snowflake attached, a 'tea pig' to hold minute balls of thread for tatting on
the move!!  AND 2 icicles!!!  Brilliant!!

Now on the other side of the Exchange... I have not heard from a single person
to say that my exchanges have arrived!  Not even the UK one!!!  I'm really
worrying bout it now If I haven't heard anything by the New Year I'm
resending them!!!

All the best for the season

[lace] Holiday Lacing

2016-12-23 Thread Lin Hudren
I just completed a bookworm and bead bookmark to gift to an 11 year old
boy.  i have been gifting him a bookmark and eBooks for several events a
year in the hopes he will become a reader rather than always playing on the
computer or his Fire.  I am easing back into bobbin lace after several
years of watching the covers on my pillows collect dust.  it is fun to find
bobbins again i have not used in a very long time.  Stormy (my original
mentor for bobbin lacing - and what a fantastic foundation she gifted me in
2000) gave me two new bobbins (see Jenny's web pages) so i am looking to
set something up for when my new outside "great room" is set up for
enjoying lacing in the outdoors while in the desert and having sort of
spring/fall type weather all winter (we don't have but a couple of weeks of
spring and fall each year if we are lucky).

i want to wish everyone a happy holiday season and many blessings for the
New Year.

as an aside, if you subscribe to NetFlix, they have a "movie" that is
called "Fireplace and Melodies for the Holiday Season".  it runs for two
hours.  i have a 24" television i use as a monitor and in full screen, it
is like having a fireplace in my small environment.  there are no lyrics so
it is a nice "background" to visiting.  also Amazon sells the 2011 video
for $3.99 USD and offers a couple of others.  i prefer this one having
tried the rest.  this one is soothing to me.

Enjoy your holidays.

Hugs, Lin and the Mali
