Quickie Question: Where Would You Go?

Monday, January 3rd, 2011
By Twistie

See that picture? That’s in Brussels, Belgium. Not to be confused with Brussels sprouts.

Delicious, but not quite the same.

I would love to go to Belgium. Why? Mostly because it’s long been a major center of bobbin lacemaking. I would love to see some of the historic pieces in the museums, and I would love to see the women and men who still make lace every day for the tourist trade and for the fun of it.

So what is your dream crafts vacation? Is there a country, major annual conference or show, or a periodic retreat that calls to you?
