are available. I also just googled her and there are a few listings of

I just emailed Elizabeth and she said she would like to know if other people
would like any of her earlier books.
Ah, but Diane,
Elizabeth did not have *The Secrets of Real Lace; Is It Handmade or Machine*
when we were with her at Sweet Briar College last September. That was when I
began the search for a copy. Did you google a copy of the particular book I
wanted? If you found it, your google is better than

Has anyone ever worked Pattern No. 40 from Pattern Design for

Hi All,
Further to the 'Chat' on the books that we liked, I asked my daughter-in-law's
sister, who is a librarian in Colchester, to find the books that had been
recommended, with a 'crafty' theme to the whodunnits. I thought the name of
the first book was Crewel Work - but as Clare cannot find

I would certainly agree with the adoption bit - our daughter Claire is a
greatly-loved adoptive daughter, of whom we are very, very proud but, she
has no interest at all in finding her 'natural' mother, as she can't imagine

If you reread Liz's message you will see that she was not responding to
accusations that her own parents did not do enough but that *Brits* did not
