Thank you Jeri for the information about the three fishes and you are correct of course - it's three crossed fishes and not just the one. I wish I could locate exactly where in Saudi Arabia they purchase their non fuzzy cotton thread, as the very fine Egyptian cotton and Brok cotton that I use

Thank you Lorelei, what a lovely website, I like Carrickmacross Lace and think some of the Halas lace looks very similar I wonder if there is any connection between the two?

Hi Kate, and others... I have the beautiful book, "Halaisi Csipke" (Halas Lace), but don't know much about the lace except what I have read in the book. I don't see any "usual" three fish symbols, but I'm sure it's because I don't know what to look for! Would someone who has the book please t

Dear Lacers, The usual three fish symbol is not worked into the flower on ebay. The whole petals appeared to me to be fish. It is better to have the lace in your hand than in a photograph. Thanks for all the lacers who wrote to me. :)Kate Henry Indiana USA - To unsubscribe send email to [EMA
