DH and I stayed outside Honiton last summer. Sadly the shop is closed and
the premises are now a restaurant. There is another shop a few doors down
which disappointingly only sells a few old bobbins and a few pieces of lace
already made, all of which are rather pricey . The Allhallows
Jonathan Page of the Honiton Lace Shop used to be on Arachne. If he still
is, perhaps he could let us know what is/has happened to the lace business.
I used to live on top of the Blackdown Hills between Taunton and Honiton. I
wasn't making lace at the time, and only went to Honiton for my
I have started a new project in Rosalibre. Our Guild competition at the end
of the year is Three dimensional lace so I grabbed the Rosalibre book. It
is such a versatile lace that allows you to be innovate as you go along.
My design is a round of about 20 cm in diameter and I am having fun
Taunton is one of the bigger towns in the west country - and it has the
Record office for those of us with Somerset Ancestry! However, it
depends on what you are wanting to do on your holiday - if you are

Hello Jeri, and Arachnids!
I just came across a product advertised online by The Stitchery
(http://www.stitchery.com/default.asp). It is called Restoration, and

Hello Clay and everyone
I was curious, followed your link - and further curious to find out the
maker of the product. It is Engleside, who do home care and janitorial
products. Active ingredients aren't given for the various potions, which
would help in deciding if 'Restoration' is safe for
Dear Clay,
One thing I would want to know is long-term safety. Special Laboratories,
to which I do not have access, can test such products for long-term
effects. Perhaps the museums and professional conservators have had this done
to

I apologise for not shortening my last post, but it did generate a new digest
as soon as I sent it. :-)
I also read the new Laced book last week in two days and that was not
constant reading. It is very large print and a quick read. There was no
indication as to how the lace was made that I
Hi everyone and Marji who wrote (to Janice, who forwarded to us - thanks

Also, any ideas on a little lace gift to give to the 3 bridesmaids and

drawer. Am thinking about a small motif and a coaster to put
I've not had any messages from Arachne for around three or four days.
Is it possible that the list is so quiet or is it just me? .or are you
all so busy working lace that there's no time for chat?

Thank you to Catherine in NZ who has just pointed out the error in my
arithmetic.
On page 12 of Threads Ed5 the second formula for enlarging/reducing a
pricking is wrong. It should read:
39 / 60 x 100% = 65%
Probably happened because I was looking at the reference to Tanne 50,

Dear Karen and others starved for lace mail,
Because my in-box was empty on Saturday, I sent out a memo about using
PieceWork magazine's website while on vacation - for free patterns and
articles.
You should have received the memo -- it is listed in our archive.
I received my Guild of Needlelaces magazine today, so will have a good read
tonight, - just before Lights Out!!!
I have only had a quick flip through, - but an interesting article on Ruskin
Lace, with a beaut bag etc in that lace on the front cover. Other
interesting-looking articles, too, and

I've done that too! I bought a pair of navy Clark's shoes and found them so
