Actual text message I sent today:

Was in the 18th century before, could not take calls. Home now, can chat.

#BobbinLace #IpswichLace

White woman in 18th century American costume (yellow and green striped bedgown, white linen ruffled hat stuffed with cotton to look poofy). I have a black gauze shawl with black lace trim on the bottom over top of my outfit. I made the lace but not the gauze part. I am seated at a dining table. In front of me is my lace pillow with dozens of bobbins making more black silk lace. My colleague's pillow is off to the left a smidge. We are at a dining room table in an 18th century house with period furniture and tapestry and print stuff on the walls. The dining room table has a filet lace large table cloth on it. It has a tureen filled with flowers in the center.
