I think the long thin things are stilettos, they are used to make little round holes in the fabric for embroidery, but I don't know what are the round things.

What about tooth picks? :) :) Sure it is a bit of a joke, but I seem to remember that bone toothpicks were placed on the table in India, perhaps even China? Who knows?

I'd seen something like these before on an antiques programme, and have been trying to remember what they'd been identified as. Brian, you hit it on the head! They were identified as tooth picks. But then two experts did identify a bobbin winder as a fancy spinning wheel :-) Jean in Poole - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ViewItemcategory=106159item=6189147708rd=1 The long thin things look rather like fancy cocktail sticks - belied by the fancy images around the photo, and with damaged ends to boot! Many years ago I needed a couple of extra pairs to get around a corner, and wanted them *now* couldn't wait for mail order so I used some little plastic cocktail forks (2 prongs) with handles very similar to these. I used a hot knife to 'weld' the ends of the prongs together so that I could add a spangle and hey presto improvised bobbins! As for the two round items, I suppose you could lay one on top of a BL pillow, stick pins in the holes and use it to make Tenneriffe/Sol lace Brenda http://paternoster.orpheusweb.co.uk/ - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
