The Postman

I think I am going to have to give the postman a gift at Christmas, he just keeps bringing me gifts from the girls at MJF.

Today from Tina Michell came these magazines for my kids and yo-yos for our table topper. From Blue Apple farm came this magazine I thought it was just great. There is an article on lace making in it, and they picture the "Princess Lace Machine", an item from 1904. I have one, but mine is from 1903. The part that was neat was the one they show was from the collection at the Smithsonian. How neat is that! I have an item that has a sister in the Smithsonian! There is also a cool pattern for making crochet buttons and knitted lace. Some day I will be a better knitter. The cow is not part of the magazine; it is the card that came with it.
