[lace-chat] strange lace
I found the strangest lace on eBay. It is listed as a collar but shown draped over a head form. There's lots of pictures so it takes a moment to load. The closeup pictures show that the base fabric of the collar is knotted lace like is used for Filet or Lacis. The flowers attached are neither needlelace nor bobbin lace. Anyone seen these before? This collar looks like it would make a good stage prop. It would look lacy from a distance yet be sturdy for rough handling. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=7330550325 Alice in Oregon To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] London markets
Is there a antique market open on a Sunday? I think I was thinking of Potbelly Road but I see that is open on Saturday plus it seems to have indoor dealers so is not strictly a street market. The web site developed an error message and it was all I could do to exit the page as quickly as I could between recurring messages. Shall have to try later. I was planning on using my free time without DH to visit the VA but I think the textile rooms are still closed. :-( Does anyone know of other sites, or shopping, to visit in London to satiate my lace addiction?

For years I was counting the money spent on books in Europe in my total until I realized that the form says that you don't have to include books, postcards or educational materials. After excluding printed material there wasn't much left.

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Dog Fight
Love a democratically offensive joke, with multiple groups being nailed simultaneously... :) At the same time... *Wouldn't it be NICE*, if the two guys really did decide to duke it out, and left the rest of us in peace? Always thought that a person-to-person duel between two overly bellicose madmen was a much better solution than a war which devastates everyone. This isn't *quite* it, but still better than the situation we're in now... From: B.R. Pres. Bush and Osama decided to settle the war once and for all. They sat down and decided to settle the whole dispute with one dog fight. They would have 5 years to breed the best fighting dog in the world, and whichever side's dog won would be entitled to dominate the world. Osama found the biggest, meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the world and bred them with the meanest Siberian wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy from the litter, and removed his siblings, which gave him all the milk. After 5 years, they came up with the biggest, meanest dog the world had ever seen. Its cage needed steel bars that were 5 thick, and nobody could get near it. When the day came for the dog fight, Bush showed up with a strange looking animal. It was a 9 foot long Dachshund. Everyone felt sorry for Bush, because there was no way that this dog could possibly last 10 seconds with the Afghanistani dog. When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out of it's cage, and slowly waddled over towards Osama's dog. Osama's dog snarled and leaped out of its cage and charged the American Dachshund - but when it got close enough to bite, the Dachshund opened its mouth and consumed Osama's dog in one bite. There was nothing left of his dog at all. Osama came up to Bush, shaking his head in disbelief, We don't understand how this could have happened. We had our best people working for 5 years with the meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the world and the biggest, meanest, Siberian wolves. That's nothing said Bush. We had Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon working for 5 years to make that alligator look like a wiener dog. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] Re: Traveling with Lace Equipment
Moving to chat; don't know if Dianne is on it, hence the double header. I believe the airlines may now be receivng more health claims from handlers and are cracking down on our heavy bags. Just a note, I regularily lift my bag into the car going to and from the airport. So, as a woman, what does this mean for 'the weaker sex'. So do I, and you should have seen me - 5'2, 100lb - dragging two oversized suitacases, on-board bag and pocketbook up a staircase (Denmark), never mind various trains etc. Just the other day DH remarked: you sure as hell are *strong*; never would have thought, looking at you. But... It's always a one time effort; I'd never sign up for an 8hr shift of doing the same thing; I'd head straight for the hospital :) -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
