... and I've survived! I spoke with a lot of people over the weekend who
came to see what I was doing at the Chicago Botanic Garden. It was glorious
weather all weekend - in the 50s & sunny, with no snow or rain. Quite
unusual! I have been demonstrating at this show since 2000, and I think this
must have been one of the busiest years - because the weather was so good.
I spoke with people from all sorts of different nationalities . At one point
I heard the Spanish for lace on my left side, and the Polish for lace on my
right (thanks for telling me that years ago, Tamara!). I spoke with ladies
who had made lace whilst a child - one in Sweden and the other in Germany.
Several people whose grandmothers had made lace in Europe. Many people who
had visited Bruges or Brussels. Also two consecutive sets of English
visitors. It is a very cosmopolitan crowd who visit the Botanic Garden.
And, of course, there was the usual "she's tatting" crowd! It was fun but
tiring.
