In conjunction with our lace fair, this year we decided to arrange a talk on antique lace and Dorset buttons. Ann brought some of her collection of antique lace and gave the talk, which Yasuko simultaneously translated into Japanese. The talk was attended by about 30 people, in a temple hall close to the lace fair. 

As you can see, the lace collection covered all the tables in the hall!

 

A beautiful floral display, one of several magnificent arrangements, corsages and a bouquet that Honma Sensei and her colleagues kindly provided for us on the day of the talk. Everyone admired the wonderful flowers and the artistry that went into making these displays. Honma Sensei is the floral artist with whom we had an exhibition in Yokohama this summer.
