I jumped up this morning, ran through the shower and headed off to the Vail Hotel in Historic downtown Pueblo to work my shift at the sale. First I had to have Patty Lynn braid my hair and this time she braided the ribbon in with the hair. Cute, huh?
Here is the Handweavers Sale sign against the backdrop of the beautiful, historic Vail Hotel. Did you know Clark Gable spent the night there with Carol Lombard, his wife at the time?
This is one of the beautiful stained glass windows that are in the room we have the sale in.
This shot is out the window towards the El Pueblo Museum.
Out this window we can see the Sister Cities Plaza. Behind it is our Senior Center (SRDA) Lots of demonstrations have taken place here over the years and I might have attended one, or maybe two. Maybe.
But in here is a real demonstration! Here we have Marilyn Hoisington giving a demonstration on the floor loom. I do not remember what this pattern is called, but it is on the 4 harness loom. Since it is the Hand weaver's sale, we are always in search of people wanting to learn to weave. We also do spinning, felting, crochet, knit, basket weaving, dying, and decorate gourds.
This is a close up of what they are working on today.
Over the next few days I will introduce you to a few of our ladies. Not many men in our guild at all!
This is Colette Wright who is honchoing the upper room, where all the bookkeeping stuff goes on and I am glad she is doing that and not me!
Each year we set aside a "donation table" and the proceeds from that table go to a worthy cause. This year they are going to Los Pobres Migrant Center in Avondale and dear Sister Nancy Crafton dropped by today to leave some brochures. I love that woman.
These are the ladies running the checkout table today. Tomorrow we will get more personal! Stay tuned!
But for tonight, a good night to you all.
