[lace-chat] Irish Laces
Dear Spiders Have just been checking what is on BBC Radio 4 tonight to keep me company while I do the ironing and see that at 23.30 (GMT) there is the following; Journalist Nell McCafferty uncovers tales of hardship, endurance, skill and artistry as she charts the fortunes of Irish lace and the enterprising women who have developed and nourished the craft since the 1800s. Those of you who have computers with the necessary software can listen after the event if that is more convenient if you visit the BBC website and click on the appropriate links. Happy listening!

[lace-chat] Weekend Residential Workshops
Dear Arachnes To all of those that have notified me that my website was down over the past year, at last please note the new website address; www.greatescapes-weekends.com <http://www.greatescapes-weekends.com/> After a year of computer problems, I 'think' we are up and running now and I'm hoping to have more time again for Arachne! The website is still officially 'under construction' but the links all work and the information is all there. To any of you within reach of my venues you are welcome to drop in and see what is going on on any of my weekends. The tutors usually put on very good displays of their work. It is great to see the pieces from the books in real life. There is always the 'work in progress' to look at too! I hope to see some of you somewhere. Best wishes.

[lace-chat] Printer Ink Cartridges Looking For a Home
Dear Spiders I have recently had to buy a new printer and, surprise, surprise, my previous ink cartridges will be no use. If anybody out there can use them, they are welcome to them.The cartridges are: Canon BCI-10 Black Canon BCI-11 Black Canon BC!-11 Colour and there are six or so in total. I am happy to offer them free to a good home and will even pay the postage. I just can't bear to put them in the bin! Please let me know if you can use them and I will send them to the first person to reply. Look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes. Jane Dickinson East Sussex, UK.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thanks
Dear Secret Pal Huge, huge thanks for the August AND September parcels which have arrived recently. You must be going travelling, I hope you have a lovely time whatever it is you are up to. I have to admit to opening both parcels so sorry about that I couldn't resist! It will serve me right when I have no parcel next month. I am already using the spectacles case for my sunglasses. The earrings are exactly 'my thing' and I always choose silver rather than 'gold' so you have done very well! I guess the green stone inlay is malachite? They are very pretty and will go just as well with winter things when the summer has passed. At the moment I can't imagine ever being cold again, it is SO hot here today. The slim little address book is very useful and fits perfectly in one of the credit card slots in my bag. You have sent more of the little perfumed sachets too, this time lavender. My linen cupboard is going to be the best around! The little angel fish keyring is very cute. I have done some beading recently but nothing like that. I shall enjoy using it. The bookmarks will make me smile, the 'quotes' are very apt. The brooch with the bird/sunflower (daisy?) is very lovely and has been worn on my Tshirt already. I really love it. The selection of cards will be enjoyed by me and eventually the lucky friends I choose to send them to. Thankyou once again SP, you are a star! I hope your Secret Pal is being as good to you. With best wishes. Jane Dickinson Sweltering East Sussex, UK.

[lace-chat] SP Thanks
Dear Secret Pal What a lovely surprise. Your July parcel has arrived already! I absolutely love the scarf. It is so bright and cheerful. I am going away for a few days shortly and shall take it with me to wear then. It will be perfect. Thankyou again for being such a lovely friend. Best wishes from a very sunny Sussex! Jane Dickinson.

[lace-chat] SP Thanks
Dear SP in California Huge thanks for the parcel which arrived last Saturday and for the second one which arrived today. I have hardly been here inbetween and before I could thank you for the first one the second one arrived! You should not have sent two, one was ample and you have truly spoiled me! I hope your life is back on track now. The notelets will be really useful and I love the box they are in. That will be treasured for a long time after the notelets are used. I shall put the 'pins' on the corners of my cover cloth to weight it and they will look very pretty. The divider will brighten my pillow too. Now to the lace! You are a very special friend indeed to send me a piece of your lace. The bookmark is very, very good indeed if you are a beginner like you say. I have looked and looked but can't find the mistakes! The thread is very pretty too and I am looking forward to using it. Today's parcel was very special too. The Peace Angel is on the corner of my desk to watch over me. Just what I need at the moment! She is very elegant. The Pot Pourri bags smell gorgeous and are going straight to my linen cupboard. I love the deep red colour too. The mints have already been sampled and are very unusual I don't think they will last long. They are such a cute shape too. I will keep the tin for pins or other lacey bits. The fridge magnets are very pretty and I shall enjoy seeing them from day to day. Thankyou once again SP. You have truly spoiled me and I look forward to finding out more about you. Best wishes.
