I may regret this because I am bidding on a couple of items, but this lady is selling off tatting and lacemaking stuff, and no-one seems to be bidding. Perhaps one of my readers might be interested?
In reply to your comment on my blog - I taught myself Honiton using Thompson's book. I have dabbled quite a bit in other non-continuous laces so learning Honiton wasn't that bad. The fine thread took some getting used to though! I am also not a purist. If I don't understand how something is done *exactly* as it is described in the book, I don't worry about it and solve it my own way. In the end, nobody will be taking a magnifying glass to my lace and making sure it is done in all 100% pure Honiton techniques! Good luck Honiton - I'm sure it will be a lot easier once you start your class!

Thanks! I'll check it out!
Good deals for those in Europe. Killer postage otherwise!
Good luck!

Ooh, didn't look at the postage costs! Sorry. :)
Whatever happened with your bidding?
