Hello Friends & Folk!
whew....
I am back from the 2013 Virginia Rug Fest ~
and let me tell you, I believe this to be thee BEST one yet!!!
the weather was Perfect this year...not a drop of rain in sight!
Miss Joan came with me to help me unload, set-up, cash out customers. give advice, razz me, eat lunch, antique shop, buy WOOL, and generally (try) to keep me in line....
Those of you who visited my booth yesterday know I get a little (?) nuts at a show.
(really?)
and I do apologize for my behavior...
I am who I am and can't pretend to be something I'm not.
I LOVE you folks, love what I do and love to share....
so thanks for putting up with me :)
ok...on to the show ~
here are snaps of my booth...

I seriously wanted to dive into this beautiful display of Mary's wool...

these two were a hoot!
OH....and they pointed out the fact that I was
(embarassing-ly and unknowling-ly)
wearing a $5.99 price sticker on my crotch....yeah,....
then told me that even though I was a cheap & easy hooker,
that I really didn't need to advertise and put a price on it.

Thanks for the tour! Eye See You II is not my style but absolutely breathtaking to see in person. I've seen it at Sauder and words cannot describe the detail.
Happy Sunday to you!

What a fabulous booth you had! I love the light and airy feel! So funny the 5.95 price tag... sticker shock for sure! LOL!! I SO wish I could attend one of your events out there... someday maybe when we sell a ton of wool here!!
Amazing eye rugs... in my minds eye there can be no limits with rug hooking... Love love everything!

Lori, wow and wow again! I am not sure that I have ever known a hooker that sells so cheap, ha ha, that was too funny!!! Perhaps it's better I wasn't there, I probably would have spent way tooo much money, lol. Most likely I would have had to have everything in your booth! Thanks for sharing, unbelievable how talented your group of rug hookers are, wow!
Hugs,
Mags
