Thanks Tamara (and Clay) for the direct link to the archive pictures,
aren't they fantastic to look at. The one that amazed me most was number
99, did you see all those bobbins on that pillow 'gulp' it must have
been a very intricate piece of lace. I don't think I've ever
used more
Indeed! Seems to me the only things missing are your cigarettes!! Oh - I
see... they're probably in the chatellaine hanging from her waist. : )

My favourite (so
far, anyway) is #10... A dog, a
Gulp is right, Celia!! I hadn't gotten to that picture, but it is amazing.
The lace showing at the back of her pillow looks wide, and that would take a
lot of bobbins. It looks like she's using Binche or Mechlin bobbins, and those
laces are intricate and require loads of them. And see...

Again eBay has thrown up a 'Vintage lace making' item. This looks more like
spinning top. But is almost certainly a weight of some kind.

Karen - I have to agree... It's a plumb-bob. Handsome, and vintage (and looks
like the top might screw off to restore a cord), but it's still a plumb-bob.

John Cropper, who has taken over as the willing and able successor to
the Professor, has just done a marvelous job of finishing up and
perfecting the scans I made of La Dentelle [Lace] by J. Seguin. For
those who don't read French all that well, take a look at the fifty
plates at the end

Oh, how delicious! I succumbed to the temptation and wrote to her, too! Like
Clay, I sent a very polite and informative message; I just cannot wait to
hear her response. I'll bet it's even nastier this time than the one Clay
got! :-)

I'm confused - not hard for this brain(?). I can't see how it can be
both antique AND vintage. I always understood antique was over 100
years old, and vintage was from the 1920-1930 period onwards. Maybe
I'm wrong, if so, can someone please set me straight?

Hi everyone
The
You are right it can't be both. I think vintage would be correct in this
case, if I was going to rewrite the description, which I'm not LOL.
At least, one can see it isn't 'new' lace.
I might bid on it, though - it could be a good buy for someone in North
America, at 5 yards plus, there is enough
The description refers to the condition - not the best choice of words,
technically, but the implication is there that the piece is in good shape
(not 'new' as in made this morning - although yes, from the photo, can only
tell that it is tatting). The interested buyer can e-mail the seller to
