Many thanks to Jeri and Doris for an explanation of lace called Vieux Flandre, (but is really quite another thing). My instincts were right, but I had no way to confirm them. One more piece in the lace puzzle. Those 19th Century lace manufacturers sure have a lot of peculiar names to answer for.
Merry Christmas to each Spider. It's lucky to have a Spider at Christmas. Gracefully remind your families how lucky they are! Patty - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
