Lyn Bailey has asked me to post this for her because she posted it herself this morning and hasn't seen it come through, and she needs answers soon. Please respond to lynrbai...@desupernet.net , not me ;-)
I am an idiot. DH and I are leaving Tuesday for Amsterdam, returning on September 3. We are spending one day in Zaandam, the Friday, and I am taking Mechlin in Bruges. We are going to Amsterdam, Rotterdam/Delft/DenHaag, Antwerp, Brussels, Waterloo, and Bastogne. We are going to Kortrijk/Courtrai for the Flax/Lace museum. I am sure I will get great advice about Brugge at the convention, although we are there before as well, and I'm also sure the tourist Bureau will have something. In the other places, are there any lace places to see? I should have asked this long ago, but didn't. I have Elizabeth Kurella's information on Sint-Carolus Borromeuskerk and the Fashion Museum's displays in other venues as well, along with the shop Kant Dentelles in Antwerp. I have looked at the OIDFA webpage and seen the Rijksmuseum Textile Conservation Center. But I see nothing about contacting them for special viewings. We will have a car after our stay in Amsterdam, so quick trips to other places is certainly doable. DH is a gem among lace spouses. But then we each have our lists, mine is of lace places, and his is of model train stores, so if you happen to know of any of those, I'd really appreciate it.

We have had terrible rain for the last week, creating floods in all sorts of unusual places. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
