[lace-chat] 16th century gift of the sable
Hello fellow historians/lacemakers, Since this doesn't have to do with lace, but more of historical measures, I guess I post this on lace chat. I have a friend who is reading a book that takes place in the 16th century. As she explains in her email to me below, the man character is giving a sable as a gift to his lady which she adorns on her gown. Is this sable the animal or some other accessory/item? From what I have found so far on the net is that it was a treasure to receive a sable and to display it on your gown as a status symbol. My friend's email is below for you to read. Your thoughts and explanation of the significance of this ritual would be appreciated.

[lace-chat] Re: 16th century gift of a sable
I want to thank those that gave me some insight into this tradition and my friend greatly thanks you. I figured it had to be a fur pelt from what research I found on Wiki and other sources, but wanted other's opinions. For the one who asked what book my friend is reading, it is ³Boleyn Inheritance. It¹s the sequel to ³The Other Boleyn Girl². -- Mark, aka Tatman website: http://www.tat-man.net blog: http://tat-man.net/blog Magic Thread Shop: http://www.tat-man.net/tatterville/tatshop/tatshop.html email: tat...@tat-man.net Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/tatmantats To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat y...@address.here.

[lace-chat] Re: Love and marriage
We both met in college and had dated for a while. Funny story here. Each of us had mutual friends that we would hang out with. My wife's friend was her room mate in the dorms. My friend wasn't my room mate, but only just a few doors down. We would go on double dates often. And sometimes we would be seen with each other's mate instead of the one's we would be dating. So college student body would get confused as to who was dating who. Then it finally came up that my friend and Kim's friend announced they were engaged. Well that settled THAT rumor! Now for the proposal part. Kim and I would hang out in the local lounge at the college in the evenings sipping Mt. Dew, having bagels and cream cheese and watch our favorite shows of Love Boat and Fantasy Island. YEAH! It's the 80s!!! "Gag me with a spoon!" HAH. Since the topic of our friend's engagement came up, I asked Kim what she thought if we got married. She said.."so are you asking??" I said yes, I am. Not really romantic, but in a strange way and coincidence. We have been married for 22 years and plan on the rest of life :) Mark, aka Tatman website: http://www.tat-man.net blog: http://tatmantats.wordpress.com etsy shop: http://tatman.etsy.com To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat y...@address.here.

[lace-chat] Re: dom in paris & any other French chefs
I have had authentic French cousine here in the states near our little town. The chef was trained in France for that purpose and set up her restaurant in a town just down from where I live. It was a big to-do! This was back in the 70s and 80s. She since has moved on and went back to France I believe. But I do recall her French onion soup and is as you describe, David. I did find these links to supposedly authentic French onion soup that might be similar and worth a try.

[lace-chat] Re: treating raw wood bobbins? other male lace makers?
~waving hand~ Hi Simon! Welcome to this wonderful list of lacemakers, both female and male. There are several of us male lacemakers lurking about in most countries. Only a few pipe up with Q/A and chat. Your question about the finishing of raw bobbins seems to be answered. I agree the oils on the hands will give it a nice patina. But do sand any rough spots so it doesn't snag the threads.
