Hi Adele and Everyone,
An excellent article on Hamilton Lace is "Lace-making in Hamilton" by Jessie
H. Lochhead, M.A. published by Hamilton Handbooks and Hamilton Public
Libraries and Museum Committee in 1971. According to the article the lace

Hi Everyone,
It is once again time for our Lace fair in Slagelse, here in Denmark and it
takes place on the 25th and 26th October in Nordhallen at Norrevangskolen,
Rosenkildevej 88, Slagelse. 23 stands will be selling various items for
lacemaking and tatting ( amongst those you might recognise: At
Hi Everyone,
Just to let you know that our Slagelse Lace Fair went very well again this
year with just over 1900 visitors in the 2 days! The stands did well with
their tempting goods and again, most of us spending much more than we had
intended. Amongst a few other things, I treated myself to the n
Hi Everyone,
I would like to tell you about the fantastic exhibition in the beautiful
little fairytale castle of Rosenborg, here in Copenhagen. The exhibition has
been set up by Katia Johansen, who is the textile conservator at Rosenborg
and she has given us some absolute gems of exhibitions over t
Hi Everyone,
On the subject of portraits, I have a watercolour painting of a frail old
lacemaker. She is obviously English with her bolster pillow on a wooden
tripod stand and her spangled bobbins. She is sitting in front of her
cottage with a background of hills and moors, and is working on a broa
Hi Everyone,
This is an interesting site about the Vamberk Lace co-operative.

and take a look at Milca Eremiasova's work on the next site. I wrote about
her before and her work is simply exquisite. She is a lovely person and it
comes through in her lace. Per
Hi Linda,
I am sure you will see something of the Danish Royal wedding. Prince Charles
will represent the British Royal Family. This is the Danish royal website in
English where you can find all the latest news.

Hi Everyone,
This is for those of you who would like to see the Danish Royal Wedding
live. One of our TV stations is transmitting live on the internet and there
is also English translation.
I'm off to my favourite position on the sofa to enjoy it all. The actual
ceremony is at 4pm Danish time.

Hi Joan and Elizabeth,
I hope that you managed to see a bit of the Danish Royal wedding. It was the
"stuff that fairytales are made of". It was so romantic - the crown prince
and half the kingdom of Denmark were literally moved to tears as his
beautiful bride made an entrance into the church. She r
Hi Everyone
To answer some questions - Anette, Jaqueline - about the royal wedding in
Denmark:
1. The young man standing beside crown prince Frederik was his brother
Joachim. The present queen, Margrethe 2nd has only 2 sons, Frederik was born
in 1968 and Joachim in 1969. Frederik is therefore next
Hi Everyone,
Just to end this crazy discussion about the fantasy flowers. Jana Novak is a
very good friend of mine and I have therefore always stayed out of any
discussion concerning her or her products and publications, because of the
list rules about promoting and advertising. However, this situa
Hi Everyone,
I managed to visit the exhibition of wedding gowns today at the royal palace
of Amalienborg, and if any of you are in Copenhagen, it is well worth a
visit. It is running until September. Crown princess Mary's dress is a
dream. The Carrickmacross lace veil is wonderful and as I mentione
Hi Everyone,
It's time once again for our Lace Fair in Slagelse and this year it will
take place on the 30th and 31st of October in the usual Nordhallen of
Norrevangs School, Rosenkildevej 88, Slagelse. Rosemary Urban from Leipzig,
Germany is running our workshop with the theme being "Motifs from n
Hi Karen,
The Slagelse lace fair in 2005 will be the 29th and 30th of October. We
usually hold it the last weekend in October. It would be great to meet you
there if you are in Denmark at that time.
I visited the Danish National Museum today and they are running a very good
exhibition about life in
Hi Ruth,
I don't have the book you mention but the 2 sections of the hearts form
little pocket when you weave them together. This is hard to explain but see
if you can make any sense of this description!
Lay the 2 sections folded double with the fingers facing each other. Take
the first finger of t
Hi Everyone,
Just to get you in the Christmas spirit and perhaps give some inspiration
for some lace designs, I thought you might like to take a look at this site.

I hasten to add that I have no connections - just an ardent admirer. This

Dear Jeri,
Thank you so much for telling us about the Christmas tree at the
Metropolitan and also your own. They both sound amazing and I so enjoyed
your description. Makes me happy to think that Denmark's Georg Jensen
inspired your collection and it is wonderful that you have so many happy
memorie
Hi Everyone,
In an earlier letter to lace, I mentioned a lace cylinder, which is on
display in the temporary the exhibition about Manor Houses in the National
museum in Copenhagen. This excellent exhibition is well- worth seeing, also
because some of their gorgeous dresses are on display. One in pa
Hi Everyone,
I have just remembered a very good source of information about linen. Shire
Publications published a little booklet "Flax and Linen" by Patricia Baines
for just under 4 British pounds.

I have several of their books and they are very cheap and often written
Hi Everyone,
I don't remember whether this has been mentioned before but it is worth
another reminder! I treated myself to 4 days in Vienna just before Christmas
and it was wonderful. If any of you visit the city then you must visit the
Museum of Decorative Art and its incredibly beautiful display
