[lace-chat] RE: [lace] Camilla's Hats and a quiet list
Actually, the UK Lace Guild's convention would explain the silence from the UK, but NOT the blissful silence from the US. Meanwhile, I got dozens of private emails thanking me for speaking out about ceasing the discussion regarding the IOLI name change and taking it to Denver where it belonged. But - alas - the subject appeared yet again this morning, so I suppose that the delete key will just have to stay active!! Meanwhile, I am impressed at the lack of interest on the part of the press for the union of Prince Charles and "the rotweiller". I laughed uproariously at the descriptions of the feathered hats worn by the hoity toity on Saturday, but on a search of the internet could only find one picture of a guest - the daughter of the rotweiller - and the descriptions were accurate!! Incredible what some people do in the name of fashion. Her "headdress" looked like a pile of undercooked fettucini nested on one side of her head!! OK - I've been naughty, but after their 35 years of "in your face" misbehavior, that's small potatoes!!

[lace-chat] S.P.Thanks
To my English Secret Pal Thank you for your packet which arrived, feeling rather dizzy, yesterday after a 6 day crossing of the world DH bought it down to me at work again after his lunch at home yesterday. We live in a small town and he comes home for lunch most days I can't leave my work to do the same :-(. The bobbin is exquisite, and the material/colour combination is stunning... such a show piece on any pillow. The stationery will be well used, as will the bath crytals. Hmmm Lavender again, yummy! The wee book gave us several laughs, and will be shared with all and sundry. The frame is so dainty, and the noteholder is cute... will be used for the reminder notes we often write to each other! Too many Craft moments in our house!(Can't Remember A Flipping Thing) The silk is so luxurious... I will have to have a special project to use that in.. the mind is going into overdrive already as to how I may use it! Once again, Many thanks, Maxine in N.Z. P.S. DH says I am like a child at a birthday party when I get your package!! Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing as gentle as real strength.

Soon - I hope - the official wedding photographs will come out, and then I hope to get a closer view, and one in better focus than you get in a newspaper or on the television screen. The first hat definitely had some sort of stiff framework, and a covering of lace, but I haven't been able to see the kind of lace yet, only that it seemed to be floral. The second hat has been described as an 'alternative tiara', being gold with Zwarovski crystals. Again, I'd love to get a close up of that one - it looked so attractive. Also, I liked the way her outfit for the Service of Prayer and Dedication seemed to compliment Saint George's Chapel, being a similar light grey to the stone, with accents of gold, and having the same sort of line as a fifteenth-century houppeland. > > What did other viewers think?

[lace-chat] Camilla's Hats
Now I know why the list was quiet over the weekend - the UK Lace Guild's convention was on. I hope someone will report on the high-lights of the weekend. I suppose I can read about when my magazine arrives. My I.O.L.I. Bulletin has yet to arrive though. Anyway, the weather here in Tartu was dreary both days. DH surprised me by watching the live telecast of the Royal Wedding all the way through. I finished knitting a scarf at the same time. Camilla's first hat was described as being a straw hat covered with French lace & it was quite elegant. Then when she appeared at the chapel with what I would've called "grass" instead of feathers I was a little disappointed. I would have chosen something more befitting of a Duchess. What did other viewers think? I just hope that we see some sunshine this week. The snow has all gone, & the crocuses & snow-bells are blooming.
