Dear All,
Â
I found Clay's pics, but they were at the bottom of the list, not the top as
usually happens with any new posts in other programs.
Â
Some great work there...have just discovered this little treasure trove and
spent an interesting time exploring :)
Warm regards,

To Clay! Thanks so much for posting the Retournac photos!!! As a newbie, I'm
sick to death of bookmark samples. But these--well--they are so--shall I say--
tres chic! Truly works of art. Sort of the Emeril Lagasse-ified version--BAM!
In your honor, I started a little Mirecourt piece today.

Well, that's one translation job I don't have to do. =)
Be sure to add the end of Adele's link, which may get pushed to a second

Thank you, Adele!

doesn't have holes. Like the lace stamps. Is that correct? It looks
lovely! I hope she's warm enough
