Italy has a "real" lace stamp, made by Arnaldo Caprai (a famous

Ciao, Stefania

Is it available anywhere? I have hard to buy for stamp collector in mind!

Look on the website. If you scroll down to the bottom you'll see a link
marked shops. Click on it and it'll give you places you can order by mail.
I have Thimbelina, the needlework fairy, hanging in my sewing room and she's
absolutely delightful.

Does anyone know where I can get these through mail order?

No local shops have them.

What a beautiful envelope on your link, Lynne -- I have four that are very
similar to your that were sent by my paternal grandfather when he was in
Europe in WWI, and they are treasured possessions.

Thank you very much for checking these designs out and for your
encouraging compliments... I'm very glad to hear that you liked them.

Actually, RCTN played a large part in the birth of these pieces. Back
in October, there was a discussion here about embroidered envelopes that
reminded me of the one that's been passed through my family since 1915
(please try
http://www.lynnenicoletti.com/growin...envelopes.html if you'd
like to see it). The discussion immediately piqued my interest and,
when a self-titled 'lurker' named Sandra, offered a link to some French
embroidered envelopes I set off to discover what this might be about.
It seems that, in France, some people do send these envelopes 'naked'
through the mail. I don't know about you, Dianne, but it would
definitely worry me to send them in this way. So, I chose to
incorporate postal stamps into the design.

My understanding of French is quite shaky (and the Google translation's
even worse!) but it seems that others have chosen to have co-operative
postal clerks hand-stamp their embroidered envelopes. They then place
their hand-stitched envelope into a regular mailing envelope and send it
off this way.

By the way, Dianne, I've thought about you every day since your little
episode with the new gas stove. Every day, I turn the wrong knob to
boil water for tea and wonder if you've managed to re-train yourself
yet!!

Can any body in Italy help?

Thanks, Lucille... I'm sure that "the girls" would be quite happy
sharing your space. Who knows? They might even teach one another to
knit/stitch!

The Philatelic Lace is beautiful, Dianne, and so delicate.

These pieces will be appearing in Hoffman's February new book listings,
Sally (http://www.hoffmandis.com) I'm sorry, but I don't know when this
list is made available to LNS owners.
They may also be available through Nordic Needle
).

You have 4 WW1 embroidered envelopes, Jere... you're so lucky! Is it
possible for you to post pictures? I'd love to see them.

Lynne,

Your Knitting Fairy is lovely! You took a good idea and did it in such
an appealing, charming style.

Also, I like the stitched envelope design and its
possibilities......it's a great cross over design for mixed media
collage!

One can actually mail a stitched envelope as long as it holds it's shape
with the address clearly shown.
In the past, we used to receive and send packages with sewn on fabric
covers to and from our Grandmother overseas.

Our post office will hand cancel envelopes on the spot if asked to do
so.
Years ago, I sent many hand painted art envelopes through the mails
while Mr Wooly was on a military "short tour".....all arrived in
excellent condition.
Nowadays there are clear envelopes one can put the painted and stitched
piece to mail.

A friend bought Thimbelina and loaned it to me for a Love Quilts
piece, I believe she got it at Stitches N Things
(www.stitchesnthings.com). I think you're in Canada, though, so I
don't know what she would charge to ship there.

Lynne,

The Knitting Fairy is great. I checked out Thimbelina too on your sit. I
love them both. I'll be off to my LNS this weekend to see if they carry
them or can order them. Again, wonderful designs.
