Unusual!<BR/><BR/>Sorry to bother you but maybe someone can help me - I have a many yards of french and swiss laces I wish to sell but I can not figure out how to reach a group of heirloom sewers. I know they would know the value of these! The laces are imported by Capitol Imports. <BR/><BR/>Can someone help me find a venue for selling these to the sewers who find them most desirable? <BR/><BR/>Thank you!<BR/>Lynn in Wisconsin<BR/>lynnknit@tds.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15639962.post-73016106490842909412007-06-25T15:09:00.000-04:002007-06-25T15:09:00.000-04:00Oh my, that is a beautiful dress.

I just bought a lovely aqua linen jacket by AK Anne Klein that has a smocked back. I love it! It's so fresh and youthful and makes a very beautiful texture. I've never actually tried to do smocking myself, but one of these days it may be a good detail to try. Thanks for all the links. :-)Tami @ Lemon Tree Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655631671353374029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15639962.post-76816674398450032002007-03-29T09:44:00.000-04:002007-03-29T09:44:00.000-04:00Smocking is alive and well in the Deep South.
