I really liked the giant wrought iron "lace" tea pot.

Thanks, Beva very fascinating collection!  I believe you are 
correct that at least many of them are crochet. The lace piano is very 
cool, and I like the crabs too (can't help itI'm in Maryland! (-:). 
 Actually, I liked a lot of them...quite inspiring.  One that made me 
do a double take (and I did a google to confirm that my memory was on 
track) was the *seeming* chandelier in the 4th photo of the 2001 row 
called "The Bride" in English. When you page through the other views, 
there is a close-up which clearly shows that it is constructed with 
"ob"-brand tampons! (gak!).  Now there's an idea I never would have 
thought of!

and I'm wishing I could be going to Ithaca this weekend...)-:  (Hi 
Susie!)

She has an exhibit currently displayed at the Palace of Versailles that
includes two stunning lion 'guards' covered in doilies.
