Magnifying Glasses

What a wonderful reponse. Thank you all very much for the advice and for the
offer, Ruth. I think that from all that advice we should look for a free
standing magnifier. I will report back in the new year what we decided and
how well it worked out.

Thank you all very much

Can anyone point us to a source of supply?

We are in the UK and our son is in MA so sources on either side of the
Atlantic would be OK.

many thanks

Do you have a Co-Op Department store near you, with a haberdashery and
sewing section? I saw lots of them, with and without lights, when I was
in my local one today. I've also seen them in John Lewis's, and various
other sewing places.

I got mine at Jeffrey Alans in with the cross stitch supplies. Any
place like that or Hobby Lobby or Michaels will probably have it.
