El Tejedor de Alfombras - The Rug Weaver

I went to the market to buy flowers for my friends Candy & Susan who will arrive tomorrow, but I just had to take a peek at the other things while I was there. Most of the sellers seem more than happy to tell you about their products and how they are made. This guy was quite proud that he uses 'only natural' dyes and does his own weaving. He said , "Mi esposa teje, teje a mi madre, mi hermano, mi hijo y yo. Somos una familia de tejedores." (My wife weaves, my mother weaves, my brother and my son. We are a family of weavers.) I almost wished I hadn't already purchased a rug. I would have loved to buy one of his! Hmmmmm....maybe I need two rugs?! :-)
