Dear Secret Pal, Thank you so much for my latest parcel that did not come late at all but right on time. I love the socks especially the colours and will probably wear them with boots. Thank you also for the stamps and the teddy scented sachet that perfumed the parcel beautifully. The keyring scissors are a great idea as you never have a pair when you need them.

[lace-chat] Lancaster
Hi, I have just had a call from my son who is in Lancaster visiting his girlfriend who is at university there. He told me of a new shop that opened there today called Bobbins and Beads (I think) As today was their opening day there was someone there making lace so he spoke to her about his mum who makes lace. He always was the chatty type !! He also spoke to the shop owner who told him that they are in the process of making a website. I said that I didn't think that Lancaster was particularly famous for its lacemaking but he thinks I'm wrong as there are a few shops there selling bobbins. Can anyone tell me who is right please? I also asked him why he has never come home with any bobbins for me !!! All for now, Anne Nicholas Hanworth Middx.

Dear Secret Pal in Australia, Many thanks for the lovely parcel of goodies that arrived yesterday. I had a bad day at work so it was a welcome relief to have something lovely to open ! I love the teddy key ring ! It has already been added to my keys. I might follow your suggestion and use the fan sticks when I make the fan that I have been promising myself for about the last 5 years ! Although the actual fan is very pretty. Unfortunately the case to the calendar was damaged but as it is a cd case was easily replaced. The calendar has lovely pictures and will make us think of the hot weather to come!

Hi Secret Pal, Thanks for this months parcel of goodies. I love the needle case and my aunty who is a lace maker and a bobbin maker will be very jealous when I tell her about the rescued trees! The bobbin is very unusual and I don't have another like it. I also love the spangles and will put them to good use. I had guessed in the end that you must of been here or sent someone else who was over. What a great pity that I missed you and Faye it would of been so lovely to meet you! I was at work but only work a mile away and could of popped home if I'd known you were coming. I'm surprised that you found our house at all ! Friends here have a problem with the aptly named Wigley Road and I'm not surprised you got lost trying to return ! What a fantastic trip you made and you were very lucky to visit so many countries and so many lace places! The past months have gone so quickly and I can't believe next month is the last.

[lace-chat] Re: [lace] Continuing problems with AOL and others!
I ran into problems sending to AOL addresses in another group. The tech I talked with said it was because I had a business card attachment. Just a few days earlier I had no problems with sending to AOL. It coincided with AOL's decision to start attaching ads, etc., to emails. It could be that the unsubscribe tag is causing the bounces.

I love the tissues and the lavender smellies and the lilac coloured notelets. I usually make the Christmas ornaments on bangles so the bangles will certainly come in very handy.

[lace-chat] Re: school dinners
Hi Liz, At the primary school that I work in the children are only entitled to a free school dinner if their parents are on income support otherwise it costs £1.60 a day. The Jamie Oliver programme has had a brilliant effect at our school and because of it last week our canteen stopped selling crisps and chocolate bars at lunch time and have adopted a 'Healthy Meals' programme. As far as our staff were concerned this should of happened a long time ago and it is a shame that this doesn't stop the children who bring their own packed lunch from bringing crisps (they are not allowed chocolate in their packed lunch anyway) Hope this answers your question but it does vary from borough to borough and so not all schools will be the same. Best wishes, Anne Nicholas Hanworth Middx. England We have been watching the Jamie Oliver TV series on the School dinners, and his effort to get decent food into the schools. Do the kids have to pay for these dinners, and if so, how much? I have a feeling they are free, but not sure.

Re: [lace-chat] Charles and Camilla
Actually, I think the fact that Lady Di is dead clears it in the eyes of the church. I know that's why the Catholic Church allowed my aunt to get married in the church. Her first husband died and they didn't count the husbands after him. History shows us that most of the monarch would be hard put to be "Defenders of the Faith" considering their indiscretions. If it's so terrible for the US to have a gay bishop, then it's also terrible that he and Camilla have been lovers for so long. Personally I think Charles should be skipped entirely and Will designated the heir.

Dear Secret Pal, Thank you so much for your parcel of goodies that arrived today. You are certainly multi-talented as the card that you sent is beautiful. Thank you so much for the thread I love the colours and will have to find a pattern so that I can use them!

The notelets always come in handy as I never have any when I need one, so no excuses now ! The sachet is already in a drawer and smells lovely! I have never seen the tweezer and magnifying glass set before but aren't they a good idea ? I have a feeling that my husband will be using them as well as me as he makes oo gauge model trains and is always after both a magnifying glass and tweezers !! Now to answer a few of your questions. I have done some cross stitch in the past but haven't done any recently and this weekend if I find the time I am going to have a go at some wire lace. I have been promising myself this since before Christmas so we'll see !! My birthday is in September but my 26th wedding Anniversary is 24th February. I can't believe that it is almost a year since we celebrated our Silver Anniversary, where does the time go ? My favourite colours are lilacs and pinks and my favourite patterns are torchon and very simple Bucks. as I have only had a limited go at that. I collect small teddy bears and snowmen.

[lace-chat] lacemaking family
Hi, My lacemaking family began with my aunty Barbara who taught herself from books and makes the most perfect lace and is an inspiration to us all !! About 15 or so years ago when my sister Alison was on holiday with her she taught her to make lace. This proved a bit tricky when she came home and many a lesson were taught over the phone. Very expensive !! My sister then looked up a local group which was Isleworth Lacemakers taught by Julie Nicholls and joined after while on the waiting list. Alison then taught my daughter Beverley who was about 11 at the time. Beverley made lace for about a year but as she can not sit in one place for more than ten minutes this was not too successful. Alison then suggested that I learn using Beverley's equipment so that is how I started making lace 11 years ago. I also joined Isleworth Lacemakers. About 6 months later Mum decided if they can do it so can I so she started as well !! Anne Nicholas Hanworth, Middx.

[lace-chat] survey
Hi, The piece of lace that I am working on has been on the pillow since 2000 !! It is a piece of church lace from an Eva Kortelati (sp?) book that I started in memory of my dad who died in 2000. My mum made some too and that has been in the church since 2001. The lace was originally intended to go on a table but is now going to be used on a windowsill as realistically I would never get it finished !! The trouble is every time that I think that I have finished I find out that it needs to be a bit longer. I now have only one more three inch repeat to do and then all I have to do is mount it on the linen. I am planning to have it in the church by the end of the summer. We'll see !!

Dear Secret Pal, Your package arrived safely yesterday. Thank you so much for all the goodies. The blown eggs arrived intact and are lovely. Now I definitely have to get one of those tree-like hangers to display them. I've been wanting one for years, so it looks like I'll get one for Easter. Alas, my DD confiscated the Kinder eggs. We discovered them when we visited Vancouver several years ago and she is a fanatic about them. I spent some time trying to translate the Dead Sea salts package before I noticed it was in English too. LOL The tiny appliques are adorable. I always welcome thread. A lacer can never have too much. I have never seen a bag like it was in. Again, many, many thanks. You are a superb Secret Pal.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thanks
Merci beaucoups, moi amie. That's about all the French I know and it's probably wrong. LOL I'm sorry to be so late in thanking you. I've had dental problems, a sprained ankle, and a crashed computer. Thankfully, everything is so much better now. I did receive the December packet. I sent a thank you about the time my computer decided to take a holiday, so I guess it didn't make it through. The stocking immediately went on the tree and the divider pin on the pillow. I used the bubbly in my bath Christmas Eve. The keychain is also in use. Is the eagle design on the Le Puy a coat of arms? My oldest son, his wife, and 2 daughters (12 and 7) were here for 2 days right after Christmas. They were properly awed when I showed them all the things you sent. I even shared the calissons with them. My daughter-in-law is so proud that now she s has eaten something from France. The sachet has been placed in my lingerie drawer. The zipper bag is delightful; the candies delicious. The coiffes on the postcard are really something. They look like they would be hard to wear. The Santa will go on my tree next year. It looked skimpy this year because I could only find one box of my ornaments. Wouldn't you know it--we found the missing box when we were storing the Christmas stuff this month. I love looking at the lace on both the calendars and hope I will someday to make some that beautiful. I m a firm believer in aromatherapy and the wands are great!

The tiny bobbin is already on a chain waiting for me to wear it. The scented wands smell so good! I introduced my DD (23 yrs old) to aromatherapy and she in turn has me hooked on lip gloss. She is begging me for the witch to add to her keychain collection. Maybe if she's really, really nice to me... I tried reading the words on the bag to her and she says my pronunciation of French is atrocious. Hah! It's as good as my German lol. She's fluent in Russian and has taken French also. My 2 sons deal with the German and I'm left with the Spanish. I guess we are a multi-lingual family. We also speak English and American. My 2 little dogs send lots of kisses to you and your cat.

Re: [lace-chat] Books - Fanny Hill
What on earth are you thinking, Jean? Put a "classic" in a plain wrapper! It's research, don't you know. LOL While studying 'Moll Flander's in my English Lit class in college, the professor mentioned that there was another book of this genre whose name he couldn't even mention, lest he be fired. This was in 1969 and he and I were the only ones in the class that knew which book. Compared to TV and books today, I found nothing explicit in 'Fanny Hill.' Same course we read an abridged version of Clarissa by Richardson. We were told that there was a "racy" passage in it. If so, I never noticed it. Of course, I fell asleep about every 2 pages, so I could have missed it. Anne in Austin TX ---Original Message--- From: Jean Nathan Date: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 16:08:14 To: Chat Subject: [lace-chat] Books Back in the 1950s there were a couple of court cases concerning two books - 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' and 'Fanny Hill' (the latter very explicitly described the life of a courtesan) - to try and get them banned because some considered them both to be obscene. ... I never managed to get hold of a copy of Fanny Hill as it was considered far more daring and copies sold as soon as they hit the shops. ... Then today, nearly 50 years later, while browsing in one of the remainders shops, there was a paperback copy of 'Fanny Hill'. It's now classed as an 'erotic classic'. So I just had to buy it to find out if the fuss in the 1950s was warranted. Haven't started reading it yet, but I feel that, if I'm going to read it in public, I might just have to put a plain brown wrapper on it.:-) Jean in Poole To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
