Hi All,
Talking about lace lamps! When I first started to make lace,
the tutor
used to have an 'At Home' day for her students - a wonderful day,
making
lace, answering quizzes, and general gossip. However, on one of
these days,
there was a power cut, and the lacemakiers lamp was brought out -

I bought one of these years ago. I thought it was interesting...having
only seen the candlestick stands.

I've had people tell me they've let their friends instal the Lace 2000 software
on their computer - which is equally, an abuse of copyright and can lead to
prosecution.

not dense enough to stand up to a great deal of pin sticking and will
disintegrate sooner rather than later.

Dear Jeri,
Thank you so much for telling us about the Christmas tree at the

your description. Makes me happy to think that Denmark's Georg Jensen

As Brian knows, I have several 'lacemakers' lamps, I also disagreed with him
until I acquire an example that still had its wick holder in tact. I have
since found another, one wick holder is metal the other earthenware.
These so called 'lacemakers lamps' appear quite regularly on ebay and I've

As I had more experience than six months I assembled
