Once again,the list has come up with a subject I am working on! Vibeke lent me
several books on filet to scan and they are all very interesting. There are even
pattern sheets to go with three of them.
They won't appear on the site for a little while yet--I'm still in the middle of
scanning and

Probably true, but from a coin collector's point of view, still

There are groups of collectors that specialize in love tokens, hobo

I think the coin as a coin would be worthless as it has been soothed down -
and not only that, it is illegal in the UK - and for all I know, in most

As far as I know there are several words used to describe the kind of lace
you are talking about: a lace with a square mesh, knotted in the corners.

Does anyone know what the distinction between the words 'lacis' and 'filet
lace'. From my understanding, they denote the same lacemaking technique.
Is is this right? Does anyone know where the terms came from? In
addition, there is the term 'guipure'. I'm assuming that it is a french

add, however, that Marie-Jo now lives in Florida and the shipping and costs
