[lace-chat] Handkerchief Question
I have just been give a handkerchief from about 1900 (maybe a little earlier). Probably needle lace (one more knowledgeable than I would know)-- lace border on all sides about 3 to 4 inches deep is in very good condition. The part that is not the border is, however, worn thin and ripped. I am wondering if I should try to replace the center with a good quality linen or whatever else you might suggest (I could even weave a piece) or if that would ruin whatever value it has, if any. If I should replace it, any suggestions on how to proceed? What am I going to do with it?-- probably frame and hang on the wall.

[lace-chat] Re:Mediterranean Flowers/ Morning Glory
Many thanks, Pauline. I believe it is a vine type of Morning Glory. Did a Google image search after receiving your e-mail and found a website http://www.exoticplants.org.uk/index.html devoted to Morning Glories and there was a picture of the intense blue flower with the trefoil leaf. I didn't realise that Morning Glory & Bindweed are the same family, or that it could be a vine as well. Have e-mailed for more information as wouldn't mind getting one if it's suitable for the U.K. climate :) Regards, Ann McClean in Llanmerewig, Mid-Wales, U.K. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~ "My Collection of Lace on Stamps of the World" http://www.ann-mcclean.mid-wales.net ~~~ - Original Message - From: Pauline To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 11:09 AM Subject: Morning Glory Hi Ann, Could it be the intense blue of Morning Glory, which is the same family as the white wild columbine.

[lace-chat] Mediterannean flowers
The flower colour sounds a bit like Morning Glory - which I'm sure is a member of the same family as bindweed as it has the same habit ie a climber and a tendency to take over. I haven't got any books on Mediterranean flowers but I know Morning glory is not native to Australia Peter To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] Mediteranean flowers
DH & I have just returned from a week's holiday in Southern France. We stayed in Laroque des Alberes, a village at the foot of the Chaine des Alberes mountain range which in turn is the eastern end of the Pyrenees. Everywhere we went we saw a particular climbing flower - which I cannot find the name of! The flower was a trumpet shape, about the size of bindweed, and an intense Mediteranean blue in colour. The leaves were trefoil shaped, about the size of sycamore. And it was the one subject I didn't take a picture of :( At first I thought it was a clematis, but the flower construction and the leaves don't match - hence my request. Can anyone help? Have done an image search on Google, and plenty of oleander and bourgainvillea which we also saw lots of, but not this particular one.
