Well, now that the dust has settled, I can look back at the whirl-wind day that was Lace Day.
First off, I had an absolute blast. The ladies that I have the pleasure of making lace with are just a delight to be around. Despite some of our maturing ages, we easily convert to a bunch of giddy school girls when it comes to making, talking about and showing off our lace.
It was wonderful seeing both old and new faces at the event. I know that many people are hesitate to come to such and event, usually thinking it's just a room of little old ladies gossiping and complaining. But for those brave enough to step through the doors, they found a lively group of various ages and backgrounds laughing, joking and having a grand old time.
Here are some pictures from Lace Day for you to enjoy:

| Well, of course I had to show off some of my tatting. |
 |
| We had a ton of books for sale. And no, I couldn't resist. I bought several. |
 |
| Oh the handmade lace for sale was just drool-worthy. |

The beautiful Mary surprised me by gifting me with her remaining stash of Lizbeth size 80 threads. Such a generous woman.
