Last Wednesday's Hook-in

Mary is back to hooking after her toboggan spill this winter and the broken arm that ensued. She's doing a sweet little terrier trivet.   It's nice seeing her back in the saddle!   Here are a few pictures of the hook-in.

Saturday and Sunday had lots of visitors to the shop!!!  Janet Delo came in to claim her prize for the Pattern of the Month Club Contest.  A 3 Pack of Natural Dorr Wool.  Next month this could be you!!!

Julia Cochrane purchased the first rug of the season, Say Cheese.  She is a real cat person so this piece was a perfect match so I know it will be going to the perfect forever home!   I like to feel good vibes from a customer when I sell a rug.  It's like I am a rug breeder and need to find the right home for my litter!

What a wild weekend!  The annual Fiber Arts Retreat at the Atlantica Hotel brought a lot of rug hookers, felters, spinners, knitters and quilters to the area.  I opened on Sunday to accommodate those who were venturing this way after check out so they could redeem the gift certificates I donated for door prizes.  There was a constant flow of people dropping by to check out the shop or just pop in to say hi. 

After we closed on Sunday I tore the shop apart to rearrange some things and make room for some new stuff.  We are preparing to finish our video that we started last year, a tour of the shop so all of you from away can see what we see everyday!  Coming through our door is like entering through a Gateway To Inspiration or at least that's what I'm told!   Knowing that we inspire rug hookers is a savory dish.   Hubby's back home so the filming will continue!
