The National Trust in the UK is hosting an appeal to raise funds for its work, and also hosting a contest which will give the lucky winners a special access day trip to see some of their expert conservation methods at work. If you donate, you are automatically entered to win a trip for two to their studio to watch them repair some of these delicate and priceless artifacts.
You can also check out the appeal for some highlights of what they are currently working on, and it’s a very interesting list. No gorgeous Elizabethan gowns at this time, but you can be sure they have restored them in the past. In any case, I’m in love with pretty much all of these tapestries.
If I lived in the UK I would be entering this contest in a heartbeat – unfortunately for me winning a day trip to see these magicians work behind the scenes on some fascinating antique tapestries and fabrics would also require a trip overseas. However, if anyone else is close enough to win, this looks so much fun!
The Textile Conservation Studio also has its own blog- click here, where you can scroll through and see examples of past work and get more information on what they do. It’s so fascinating I know I could spend hours pouring through it.

My favorite project is the King James II bed and accessories… is that a stunning piece of furniture or what?

of course like your website however you have to check the spelling
on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome

I am curious to find out what blog platform you have been using?
I’m having some small security issues with my latest blog and I’d like to find something more safe.
Do you have any suggestions?

Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems
with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I
ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no data backup.
Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?
