Did you know there is a needle museum?  Well there is.   Lee found this one “Forge Hill Needle Museum.  Housed in a lovely 18^th century mill, the museum tells the long history of the manufacture of needles and fishing tackle in the Redditch area (England) over the past 3 centuries.  For more information go to:

Last year, Jeri Ames wrote a detailed article about cleaning lace for Arachne.  It may be of interest to collectors of antique laces, and is available at the following site:http://www.honitonlace.com
