I hope to begin a page about identifying different types of lace and add it to the site sometime soon. It never ceases to amaze me the number of mis-identified items that show up on eBay or in flea markets and antique shops. There are a few very good books on the subject but, given the capabilities of the digital age, we can show much better pictures to tie with descriptions now. That should make it a whole lot clearer just what you're looking at when you pick up a doily or dresser scarf in your favorite antique shop the next time you're there.
