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. |
