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. |

She has done some beautiful hooking! That 1852 floral has been on my 'to do' list forever.
Beautiful rugs! And lucky you to get the private tours! Love the tintype you picked up. Like Nancy, I've never seen one like it. An oval is completely new to me. And FINALLY!! I have one collection that's bigger than yours!!! (But nice add...)
Paula's rugs are just wonderful. I so love that flag one. Lucky you to have a tour of her home. I only have one skater's lamp so you are ahead of me as well completing your set. Janice
Wow wow and wow. I do have a larger vocabulary but when I look at the rug shows you ladies share with us my jaw drops and that’s all that comes out. I’m happy for you that you scored a few treasures on your trip.
First time commentor, but your title caught my eye. We have had Puggles and now a Frenchie, but we are now talking about getting a Pug!
Amazing rugs! Fascinated by all of them.
I love every single rug. I love all of the treasures you found too. What a nice place to go visit. Thank you for the show.
