Dear all,
I agree: it is refreshing and inspiring to browse through everyone elses

at webshots. I say to anyone who thinks this; start one to compare projects

I did bother to trawl the archives, and found four of us had posted on
"Antique Vintage Unusual Ivory Pineapple Bobbin Lace" on ebay.
The first was from Clay saying that she'd politely pointed out to the seller
that the item wasn't hand made and got an abusive response. Barbara Joyce

Hello Sister Claire
When you go on ebay, you can see a menu Search Options.
Type in what you are looking for (e.g. lacemaking bobbins) and leave at
all categories.
Go down and tick the box Worldwide - and click on show items.
You'll get a lot more results coming up then.
Ebay is making it more
I'll be there. Based on what I saw of downtown Groningen last year,
there are tons of restaurants to choose from.

Hello Sister Claire -
Try doing a search. Enter the words (lace, lacemaking) and see what you come
up with. If you use the parentheses, you'll get a search on any or all of the
terms. If you don't use the parentheses, you'll only find items which contain
all of the terms. You may want to do

Tamara,
in my opinion the writer herself is a bitter woman. I think to ignore
her is the best.

Just back from Portugal, and visited both Via do Conde and Peniche.
Unfortunately the school in Via do Conde was closed on the Saturday that I

I am so glad you enjoyed your visit to Portugal, and that you managed to go to

Hi Shirlee,
You don't say where you are in your email, but if you are in the US, a

small led light. The base was heavy but could be clipped on

Dear Clay and other spiders,
The discussion about Mageyes reminded me why I had not gotten this device. I
had not found any Mageye lens higher than 2.75 magnification. This discussion
