I’m back from the IOLI Convention

I just got home from an over 4500 miles long trip (via car and with hubby) to the IOLI Convention in Durham, NC.  It was a very successful trip.  While there, I sold my tatting books, Teneriffe Lace, Filet Lace, & Romanian Point Lace kits in the vending room.  I secondarily tended to my Convention Publicity duties of going to all the classrooms and photographing classes, people and any bit of handmade lace that I saw people wearing.  I found out last year that  photography was a bigger job that I had anticipated.  So this year I didn’t take any classes. Many of my photos have been used on the IOLI’s FB & IG pages.  Do check them out–“International Organization of Lace, Inc.”
