A little bit about Me

And to think all this started because I needed a microfiche reader for my Family History research :)

I began making Bobbin Lace in 1985 and progressed to being a Lace Supplier in 1989, attending Lace Days, Workshops and Group meetings all over the UK. In 1990, I was diagnosed with Osteo-Arthritis in both of my hands - it has now spread to other joints and can be VERY uncomfortable, but at least I'm not dependant on pain killers.  I had to give up making lace a few years ago, so took up researching my family history instead. 

I now have a website about my research - anyone related to the CAWTHORNs, SCOTTs, PALMERs or DeSilva PALMERs of Cambridgeshire and West Norfolk, do get in touch - we might be related!

I found eBid.uk in 2004 and the site is an ideal medium for selling my books, vintage postcards, lace & craft supplies and collectables.

After losing my mother in December 2008, I opened a fundraising store here on eBid -
Annie's Charity Attic - to help raise funds for her favourite charity - East Anglia's Children's Hospice.  Loads of goodies now on sale - so do pop in and take a look.
