Dear Tom Sylvia.
You are obviously one of my mob Sylvia I have appear to have the same
philosophy when it comes to lace making. I'm doing at least 12 hours a day
at the moment in order to finish this large piece of Chantilly. Even so it
will take me about another 6 months. There's never a
While browsing I came across what appears to be a new Honiton lace web site
for a business based in Honiton High Street (where Jonathan Page's Honiton
Lace Shop was).
Apart from an introduction to the site and a bit on the History of Honiton
lace, there's just a list of the things they sell, with

Leopoldine Winkler.
152 pgs 24x34 cm HB. Reconstruction of 25 beautiful Jugendstil laces from
about 1900.
Please -- Can anyone tell me what 'Jugendstil' laces are? And what is
different or special about them?
Thank you,
Alice
That is the same as Art Nouveau, New art, it was a new way of making art,
the way the paitnings, furnitures, houses etc. was made in the beginning of
ending of 1890 til 1920 as far as I remember it

Jugendstil = Art Nouveau; the decorative style that was the hight of
fashion at the turn of the 19th/20th century. Characterised by
stylised floral designs with lots of swirly stems and tendrills and
coming between the heavy over-ornate late Victorian style and the more
geometric Art
I seem to remember that when Jonathan closed the shop, he
opened a restaurant in that space (or that was his
intention?), and the lace museum and shop moved upstairs. I
tried to go to the website, but was unable to get there for
some reason. But is this perhaps Jonathan's?

I was able to reach the site, and I see that the person who
runs the shop and makes the lace is Wendy Williams, not
Jonathan Page.

I had a handkie like that and I removed the material. Then I ran a
thread around the footside and gathered it up. Now I wear the
ex-handkie as a jabot.

DH I have just returned from a week's holiday in Southern France.

Alberes mountain range which in turn is the eastern end of the Pyrenees.

The flower colour sounds a bit like Morning Glory - which I'm sure is a member
of the same family as bindweed as it has the same habit ie a climber and a
tendency to take over. I haven't got any books on Mediterranean flowers but I
know Morning glory is not native to Australia
