The Rugs of Paula Shultz ~

Paula is an Indiana hooker and shop owner in Albion, Indiana.  She so graciously opened her shop to Sue and me before we headed to the hook in.  Well, darn!  I failed to take any pictures in her most adorable shop filled with wool, patterns, antiques and collectibles.  

I did purchase this skater's lantern on the left.  Only one more until I have an official collection.  (Somehow I misplaced the wire handle on the lantern to the right I purchased a few years ago.)

Another treasure that came home with me was this sweet little tintype in a size I had never seen before.  The case is only 2" tall.

The photo is not in the best of shape, but I bought it mainly for the case.

Paula also gave us a tour of her home.  OH MY!!!  Truly primitive magazine worthy!!!  Thanks for the tour, Paula.

At the hook in, she gave a talk on her wool choices and her backgrounds.  She has a way with color like no one else.  Every rug was just perfectly primitive, and all the antique adaptations looked O.L.D.

Here is a sampling of some of the rugs she shared.

Paula's pattern.  Contact her to purchase.

Hooked in a class with Maria Barton. 
She wanted help hooking the face.  
I understand she finished the rug in a three day class.

Some day this antique adaptation
will be on my frame.

My pictures do not do her rugs justice!  You can contact her on Facebook.  If you are ever in northern Indiana, her shop, A Primitive Place, is open by appointment.  You will not be disappointed!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs 😊
