For information about OYA: See Piecework 1996 July-August starting on page
22. It discusses the history, as far as it is known. Also, 2011 July-August
has an article on Turkish Oya. I've read that every country in the middle
east has its own name for Oya.

Living in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, I can assure you the Amish do NOT make
lace. Oh, and they use computers, but not in the house. In business,
especially if they're working for someone else. They're actually rather
savvy. Kids with cellphones before becoming members of the church.

The Scissors!!! Oh my! They really are spectacular, but does *anyone*
actually buy them? I can't imagine spending that much for scissors, in
spite of the fact that they're also works of art. I can see my DH using
them to clip coupons if I didn't keep them in a safe place!!
