[lace] Interesting use for lace
Something finally came along that brought me out of my long lurk-mode. On another list I subscribe to, one on 18c history, they've been discussing toilet paper - as in what was used before the purpose made rolls of today. This morning someone posted a link to an amazing collection of tp trivia, including . . . wait for it . . . French royalty used lace! http://www.toiletpaperworld.com/tpw/encyclopedia/navigation/funfacts.htm (It's a long page so if you're in a hurry to find it best search the page for lace.) Is this an answer to that perennial question -- what to give the person who has everything?

Re: [lace] Interesting use for lace
I wonder what type of lace was considered suitable for the purpose?? Bucks? Beds? Flanders? Torchon?.

Question is: how many hundreds of thousands of inches are needed to fill the thing???) Su Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Something finally came along that brought me out of my long lurk-mode.
