It's great till I have to actually remember which way I was going.
Sometimes I have to ask a friend if the letters are right way around.
>I once browsed through the Caulfield books on Victorian Embroidery.
Some time ago I got an abridged edition of Caulfield, with 1882 adverts in
the front and no colour plates. I sold it to a friend of mine when I
finally got the two volume Dover edition. And you're right about the
needleworked Victorian gorp. Is that the one with the plant stand made
from lobster shells? :P
