HAPPY MAIL

In January I posted a Barbara Merry rug I'd not seen on auction sites before.  Donna Beaupre purchased a group of old rugs then searched the internet looking for a name to match those initials.  And it was serendipitous that her search led to my blog.  If you would like to see that post and group of rugs she purchased you can find them HERE.  The rugs and more info about Donna is toward the end of that post.

Now to my happy mail ~ it was a photo of a whimsy lady cut out hooked by Donna and the matching "Give Beauty" poem below was written by her as well.  

Give Beauty, by Donna Beaupre ... 

This antique rug was once owned by Donna's grandmother who lived in Louisburg Nova Scotia before moving to Boston.  It is not known if her grandmother hooked the rug or if she just took it with her when she moved.   Sorry the photo is a tad blurry, but you can still capture it's beauty.

Donna said she just drew a memory rug of her aunt and her youngest son from stories she used to tell him.  Am looking forward to her sharing that with me later as hooking ensues.  Wish she had a blog so I could put a link to it on my side bar and she could share with many more people.

Sometimes keeping up a blog seems like having a job, but I'd miss the opportunity to meet wonderful new friends and get happy mail without it.  Happy hooking everyone.
