Bobbin lace samples,lace fan, cotton and haberdashery shop model

  
I would like to say first of all a big thank you for all of the emails I have received wishing me a speedy recovery.It was good to know that so many people were rooting for me. I am pleased to say that today I feel much better in myself just feeling a little weak so am working at half my normal pace. This perhaps is a good thing I know, as my body needs to recover it's strength.
So back to business, there are four more lovely items coming on the website tomorrow. A superb book of handmade bobbin lace, a lace fan, a historical pack of how cotton was made in England and a superb vintage model of a haberdashery shop.
All listed tomorrow
