I have recently bought a number of out of print Lace books through the
Lace Guild in the UK, they have second hand books with a catalogue
online (ie you can download it from their web page). The prices

you could consider a nail buffer. They come is grades of grit and the fine
Perhaps she should contact the Allhallows Museum in Honiton. It is almost
entirely devoted to lace and Pat Perryman is affiliated with it. I would
think that they would know of any lace activities in the area.

Hello All! What caught my eye in Laura's blog was her beautifully painted blue
cross & bible kitchen door. There are four panels that would be the perfect
spot to display lace! Loved the starry cover cloth as well. Catchy when out
on a demo & fun when working alone. Win-win. Sincerely, Sus
