I am beyond amazed and admire her lace art deep within my heart. I grew up in a small town where a few ladies practiced these arts. It has been heartbreaking for me to see these arts deminishing through the generations. They truly are a talent and skill to be admired! I have a few of the ornaments she has done and will treasure them forever! ��Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324858726821773544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-12718037664785471352013-01-17T06:35:27.282-07:002013-01-17T06:35:27.282-07:00Hello Manie, I will send your email to my Sister....Hello Manie, I will send your email to my Sister.

What is amazing that there are so many people in the U. S. who are interested in the old world art of lacemaking. Even on the island of Burano (Venice) most laces are machine made and imported from China. I noticed that on my last visit that there has been a revival in Venetian Lace teaching.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-12408032561253390852011-07-15T08:39:39.171-06:002011-07-15T08:39:39.171-06:00Hello Mark, And then there is my Mother.
