Kay and I travelled to the small village of Lefkara where lace and silver are produced. We met this lovely couple in their shop (Kay talks to everyone!!). We had Cypriot coffee and a long chat about the country and the handcraft industry. Very few women are learning the art of lace making now and it is becoming a dying art. The village is in the middle of steep hills and the streets are narrow and lined with shops. A very beautiful place. Some of the lace is 'pulled thread lace' on Irish Linen and some is very like very fine tatting. They are real keepsakes. The silver is beautiful too - some of it is very fine filigree, but they also have jewellery with gemstones as well.
