The Rug Hook Project:
Las Rancheritas
 
What a more perfect gift than the one that helps another person. You give a wonderful rug and at the same time help out a family. Mexico has been suffering more than the USA during this economic downturn. The Rug Hook Project still has many of the rugs featured on the website, and they can send them with free shipping in time for Christmas. A beautiful thank you card and brochure comes with each rug.

Also available are originally designed sets of 4 cards - each is a photograph of one of the best rugs from the past. Set of 4 is $15.00. All profits go to the group for promotional expenses. Visit www.rughookproject.com for more information.
