On Saturday, April 16, Susan White and I showed the rugs at the King William Art and Craft Show in San Antonio. This was a special honor since usually you must be the artist to exhibit your work. But do to the help of Rose Kanusky and Max Martinez we were invited to participate since they understand the project and want to help rural Mexican communities. We sold 13 rugs most importantly Bonifacia's Wedding Rug!! And we won "Best of Show". Note the ribbon above our heads. I am thrilled.

From the show I drove to San Miguel were I am now nerviously waiting for 3:00 when I will give my yearly lecture on the "The Guide to Semana Santa" taken from my book about same. Tears from the Crown of Thorns.
Tomorrow is a big art craft show at the art school in San Miguel. Las Rancheritas will be exhibing there so I will bring them their money from San Antonio. On Sat I'll head out to the village to deliver the huge load of wool I have in my car, donations for all of you especially from the Yellow Rose Rug Camp. I'll take photos of the distribution and post them here.
