[lace-chat] Work
There is a dangerous virus being passed around electronically, orally and by hand. This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss, or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely. If you should come into contact with WORK, put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest grocery store. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolating-Neutralizer-Extract (WINE) or Bothersome-Employer-Elimination-Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system. You should forward this warning to 5 friends. If you do not have 5 friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life Rosemary in Somerset Uk, the home of cider To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] Help with French Lace Museums
Dear List, I've been working on a City Guilds in embroidery for many years here in the U.S. My tutor, Gail Harker (author of several good books on machine embroidery) leads a tour of her U.S. and Canadian students to England each summer, and the last few years this has included crossing the channel to see the Bayeux Tapestry. For this summer's trip she's thinking of spending a bit more time in Normandy, with visits to Alencon or Argentan, and has asked me, her only old lacemaker, for any information I have on museums or lace related events in Normandy. But I've never had the pleasure of visiting Normandy, my links to the museum in Alencon no longer seem to work, and Google has been less than inspiring. So am asking for your help. Gail is asking for the following: 1. Information on any museums with good needlelace collections (these are embroidery students) within a hour or two driving distance of Bayeux. Museum web sites would be wonderful, or a telephone number or address. 2. Any lace or embroidery related demonstrations, workshops, festival, or other activities in Normandy during the first few weeks of October, 2007. 3. A person who might act as a lace guide in Normandy for a day. Many thanks for any help you can provide, Denise Liberio Bellingham, Washington, U.S.A.

[lace-chat] secret pal
Hello, To my secret pal, well you have done it again, you have made me wait and spoiled me rotten. Makes me more appreciative and humbled, I must not be so greedy. I love antiques, so now I am off to google to figure out exactly which bobbins can be used, I know that spool bobbins will work, but I think for a bobbin lace bobbin to work I will need some sort of attachment. I will be using it, rest assured. I love antiques and don't wish to see them just sitting on a shelf. Thank you again, Hugs, Lynn p.s. I tried to post this to the secret pal site, but it won't let me.
