Serape Treasured by Grandma Regan

Another ten hours at my kitchen table working on edits.
I took a little break to run this leather "plate" to the framing store
so they can continue working on Grandma Regan's serape I'm having framed.

My mom found it when cleaning out Marge's attic.
She said she and my Grandpa bought it on a trip to Mexico and it covered her hope chest with her prized possessions. My mom remembers moving it each time she opened the chest to look through her mom's treasures.

It's old and the framing is costing a fortune because the woman 
has to sew it to the mat with nearly invisible thread. And the serape is very fragile.
But I think it's worth it to preserve it. They're such beautiful colors!
