PEI – More than the Land of Anne of
Green Gables
Wednesday my
daughter and I spent the day in PEI.
This really is not the way I recommend seeing the Maritimes. More maps and brochures and we were on our
way. Once again we went to every museum
and gift shop, including all of the Anne of Green Gables and Lucy Maud
Montgomery historic sites.
For the
first time, I truly understood and appreciated the Anne of Green Gables
stitchery by SaggiTaurus Needlecrafts. I
had seen pictures of Dunes but had never been this close. I had read the Anne
books but had not walked in the home where they were written or seen the
artifacts that inspired both the books and the stitcheries. It is a part of the country largely untouched
by the 21st Century. Our
drive could have easily been in the same covered wagon that Anne arrived in.
But, there
is more to the island than “the little red haired snippet” as one curator
called Anne. There is a whole island
steeped in early Canadian history. We
were treated to the sights of the beauty of mid-afternoon tea and shown
stitchery that young girls had stitched well over 100 years ago which continues
to be prominently displayed in century old homes.
As soon as
the dust settles, and I am back in my office, I will post a list of the shops
in PEI that have already ordered product from us. Hopefully the list will increase.
Next post ….
Hear all about the Antigonish Highland Games.
Help
us help you keep the spirit in your stitching!
