Exhibiting my #lace #paintings today at @MelbourneFest in this beautiful garden studio with friend & #potter Sujata. Come & see us we are at 65 Castle Street number 37 on the Arts trail map. #artist #derbyshire #SundayMorning

@TanaCollins7 @Anne_Coates1 We have members and volunteers all over the country, we normally find a way to get things to us. Of course, sell what you can, or if some of it is special you might want to hold on to a few pieces if you know more about them. But as a charity and museum we would be receptive.

@TheLaceGuild @Anne_Coates1 Thank you so much for this information. I think I was hoping to sell at least some of it, but not sure how likely that is. Also added problem of how to get it to you without incurring too many charges as lace is in Sussex? Any ideas?

Does anyone know what can be done with bags and bags of beautiful hand crafted vintage lace tablecloths? This stuff must be going on 100 years old, but I understand that it has fallen out of favour trying to sell it at auction houses?

@Anne_Coates1 @TanaCollins7 Please do get in touch if you are looking to learn more about them or if you want to donate them to us, our curators would take a look, and accession anything that would enrich our collection, or we will find people to make use of them. 🙂🙂

@TanaCollins7 You could contact The Lace Guild who may have suggestions, Tana @TheLaceGuild

Love it when costume research and writing research coincide! Delving into the history of Devon’s lace makers with the memorial to Lady Dodderidge in @ExeterCathedral Just look at those cuffs! #lace #Devon #amresearching

Now, this #Edwardian #dress is perfect for any #lace lover. It reminds me of the conversation Mrs Hale and Mrs Thornton have in North and South about lace. #fashion #history #fashionhistory

Thankful today to be working in the museum’s climate -controlled textile store, alongside some volunteers from the Lace Guild of NI, cataloguing and labelling some beautiful Irish #lace and lace patterns. #keepingcool
