Saturday's PhotoHunt Theme #184 "Tied"

-

This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Tied". This is a rag-rug woven by a good friend of mine, Boyan Carlsson, who lived in Lunger, outside of Arboga, Sweden.

We have many of her handwoven rag-rugs in our home.
They are all finished with knots that are tied.

Welcome to the Romantic Friday Writing Challenge , started and hosted by L'Aussie Denise and Francine Howarth , where participants share their own 300-400-word text on a given theme. This week's theme for Friday, 7th October, Challenge No. 22, is ' Rock Candy '. Here is my text, a short, short story, written directly for REWers: ------ 'Did you know that Sir Lawrence Olivier lived here?' said Charlotte trying to impress her friend from home.
