Puleeze ~



Just a quick hello before I finish packing for rug camp.  Yes, I leave in just a few hours, but before then am having son and grandson over for lunch.  I guess I will never learn to pack ahead.

Yesterday a hook in was held in Ann Arbor, MI, at the Washtenaw Community College.  Always a top notch event, this year did not disappoint.  But really?  Political correctness has gone too far.  There was a men's restroom and next to it was this restroom which obviously used to be the women's.  At first glance, I thought it was the typical family restroom, but check  it out.  Do I really want to be sharing the restroom with a man?  I think not.  The men had their own and I would like the same.  'Nuff said.


A few pictures of our booth.



Sweet bracelets, some of them made from old suspender buttons.



Necklaces made from the tiniest of quillies.


A sampling of rugs from the show. 















Must get packing.
Thanks so much for stopping.
Pug hugs :)

One Hook in Down ~


The Ann Arbor hook in was wonderful as always.  I've probably attended 5-6 times with Melissa, but this was our first time vending.  It was a great day.  So many hookers.  Luscious wools.  Yummy snacks.  Good sales.  Invited back for next year ~ woo hoo.
 
We were given a double booth, so we had lots of room to spread out.  A few pictures of our booth.




 
Ann Arbor is just over two hours from my house, but the styles of hooking seemed much different to me.  Here we see many primitive rugs.  There, not so many.  No matter what the style, there was much talent displayed.  (Sorry some of the rugs are so washed out looking.)
 















 
 
It's fun to see the same rug hooked two ways.



I just love the stone bridge.



Thanks so much for stopping by.
