In conversation it came up that my lace pillow is really a reflection of my life in making lace.
I started making lace in 1988 which means I've just I've been doing this for over 30 years. Every bobbin tells a place or a gift, every bead tells a story. There are the beads that I bought each month when I started. Because I worked in Kilburn I would take the Jubilee line and then the Picadilly line to Covent Garden, heading over to the bead shop in Neal Street or down to the wholesalers just off Regent Street. (I always remember where that one was because you turned up the road by the Godiva chocolate shop which was irresistible on some occasions). |
Just looking at the bobbins in the pictures here I see some continental bobbins from our visit to Bruges for my 41st birthday, a heraldic dog from Sallie Reason and a pair of Paua shell inlaid bobbins in lemon wood which my mother bought me for my birthday the year I started making lace. Glass beads from Japan or Italy. Semi precious stones from South America, Australia, The Far East and some even from the UK. |
