The Show yesterday was AWESOME!!!!

...wasn't it a great time? and
ALL. THAT. WOOL!!!!!!!

and

speaking of wool...

I have thee pleasure to announce that I will now be carrying

Rebecca Erb's
wonderful wools here in the shop!

come on out & see the awesome selection to choose from...
~ I have yards & YARDS of her gorgeous, as-is wools in every color of the rainbow
(I'll be adding pictures of them soon on my sidebar)

so, onto the pictures of the show!!!!

Here I am,
Multi-tasking, as usual...

...talking on the phone & punching ~

(my thanks to Mr. Jack Newman for his photography skills)

here are the HOOKERS!!...


...wall-to-wall elbows flapping, hooks clacking...
scissors snipping & wool-dust-flying!

a great turnout despite the rain...

my little booth was set up in the same room as the rug show...
so I was a happy girl with all of the beautiful rugs around me.

this is my booth, on friday as we were setting up...

I liked having the natural light with the windows behind me...

...just setting up...

and onto the rugs...
each & every one was a work of art...
equally beautiful in their colors & execution...

...the verse on this rug reads:
"Patience is a virtue, posess it if you can,
seldom found in woman, never found in man"

and of course,
my thanks to Miss Joan for helping me friday & saturday,
driving along with me for a total of almost 10 hrs (back and forth),and putting up with me...thank you my sweet Friend!
~~~~~~~~ I am spening the day in my sweatpants, house cleaning and doing chores...
