My paternal grandmother tatted and it was very fine, pretty work. I wish she had taught me to do it.Charley "Apple" Grabowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-66254484498627078432008-07-10T11:39:00.000-04:002008-07-10T11:39:00.000-04:00Apple, I can't get a close enough look, but I wond...Apple, I can't get a close enough look, but I wonder if the unknown word at the top of page 4 is "tat" or "net." She is talking about needlework, and as you probably know, tatting is a form of making lace that has made a revival in the last 20 years, along with knitting and crocheting. "Net" would be an appropriate substitute word; I think it was used more in Europe.<BR/><BR/>What do you think?Miriam Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021845886261585678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-30291853245161184372008-07-09T20:17:00.000-04:002008-07-09T20:17:00.000-04:00Nikki-Ann,You found a couple of unexpected treasur...Nikki-Ann,<BR/>You found a couple of unexpected treasures so don't give up hope, they may be out there.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad my comments are making sense.

Thank you for your additions to the letters, they help fill details out. It's also nice to be able to put faces to names :)<BR/><BR/>Fleshier is definitely a nicer way of putting things!Nikki - Notes of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116292112164268244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-40142638464424236042008-07-09T15:39:00.000-04:002008-07-09T15:39:00.000-04:00Tex,That's a very good question!
