A couple of years ago I bought square bobbins from Maureen Mark Benda. I
think someone said that they were no longer selling bobbins. Am I right in
that recollection (sadly)? If not, does anyone know how I can contact them?

I know that from time to time there is a craze amongst lace makers to
make these paper bobbins .
The rare part of it must be that they are for sale. Most of us keep them

Hi All, One reason it might have been quiet last weekend on arachne is
because some of us went to the New England Lace Group Retreat in Wareham,
MA - May 19-22. It was wonderful fun!! I got to see people I've met before
and meet new ones including Louise Colgan who taught a Milanese class.
Yes, Sue - I'm afraid you're right! As Laurie has said, Maureen decided to
give up her bobbin business about a year and a half ago. We've all missed
seeing her at our lace days, and certainly miss her knowledgeable and
far-reaching expertise in bobbins. I understand that she has returned to

Not necessarily. Or, perhaps, I should restate... Anything that's

The only comment I can make is that I like the way this person displays
their items. All of their ebay items are nicely displayed with suitable
samples eg: tatting shuttle next to some tatting, crochet hook next to some
crochet. I like the little bit of thought and time that has gone into

Normal American pronunciation, as far as I've ever heard, has been
Ee-rak or Ih-rak. However, having heard Ay-rak from someone on the
radio, we asked our daughter, who has been learning Arabic, how they
say it in Arabic and she says that in Arabic, it's Ay-rak, with the
letter ain... so
Ah, but Martha, we don't hear you on the TV. :-D

As we are talking about paper back books at the moment, can anyone tell me if
the last Harry Potter book is in paper back yet, and I don't mean the new one
coming out later this year, just can't remember the title of the last one.
Either in the US or the UK, as I will be in London in June.
