.. I right clicked to open the site in a new window and got the old right 
click disabled message ... not cool .. I can't quick surf the site .. and I 
can still get the graphics .. cache files , site sucker(black widow etc.) 
and print screen ... I don't agree with taking over a visitor's browser ... 
besides I turn off my javascript and I get control back anyway ...

so that said I am running a small screen resolution here ... 640 X 400 .. so 
your graphic is over riding the lace on the edge of your border... the 
colors are strange but work .. the font is a little small for my eyes and 
the background a bit dark for good contrast with the dark green text ... the 
white table cells are hard on the eyes once you settle in to looking at the 
green on green ..
the pictures are nice and clear and the content well organized ...
the only puzzle with the navigation was why after all the complete sets of 
links on all the pages (nice job!) you only have order and back options on 
the lace pages ...
I don't know if I would have devoted so much screen space to the lacy border 
and the big nav buttons on some of the pages .. but that may be the 
difference between running a large screen at high res and prefering to run 
one at 800 X 600 ... I just can't see giving up 1/3 of the real estate to a 
border ...
over all a nicely done site with lots of content well presented and managed 
... but I would rethink that javascript .. really rude on a commercial site 
in my opinion .. when it popped up when I tried to get out of the frame from 
my mail program I thought I had wandered onto some hacker site on geocities 
... LOL ... bet you have had that one happen ...
anyway ... I liked 95% of the site ...
