Or was there even a guild then for lace-makers, and if there were, women would not be included anyway - or would they? Fascinating history. Thanks for the reminder this year.<br /><br />Very pretty motif.<br />Fox : )Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889386206601730189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-11591565120231356222009-12-01T14:42:15.610+00:002009-12-01T14:42:15.610+00:00Hi Bev, Yes I have that book, which is probably wh...Hi Bev, Yes I have that book, which is probably where I got some of the information from.

It is really a combination of festivals recipes, histories, customs with beautiful artwork, lace photos. It is by Julia Jones and Barbara Deer. I think it is a lovely book because of many water colors, photos of lace at the Country Museum at Shugborough Hall. <br />It celebrates many of the Saints Days in an enchanting manner. It isn't a new book, first published in '81 ~ but it was new to me. <br />Love the photo of The Sisters, I saved it!

I had set it on my IPOD and when it came on, Kris said, "What's this about?" as she was playing solitaire on the pod. They found the history very interesting ~ I have a book about Catrine's Day and Caterine Cakes at home.
