Lace Day Mary has booked the first Saturday in June for the Third Annual Lace Day! Date is June 2, 2012. We will set up Saturday morning, then open the doors to the public for 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Should be fun! We have a few months to organize and finalize details. Items for sale have been popular with visitors. We will start collecting items for the draw table at the end of March meeting.
Winnipeg Public Library has a number of bobbin lace books and tatting books listed, including images of the book covers. Check those out if you have some reading time… http://wpl.winnipeg.ca/library/
