Laces of Ipswich January 4, 2017

A great find – this book, The Laces of Ipswich, The Art and Economics of an Early American Industry by Marta Cotterell Raffel is perfect for combining my interests in history, genealogy, and economics.  I am only marginally interested in lace making in that it relates to weaving…..but this is a thoroughly researched picture of an industry in early New England and just maybe some of my ancestors!

  Does this inspire you to write a poem?  or do a drawing? or a painting? or create a sculpture?

I feel creative – I just bought some shares in ETSY.  Good luck to all my friends who sell their creations through this company.
