This is Jean’s Gift Shop in Chiticamp, Cape Breton on the far eastern edge of Nova Scotia. These aren’t needlepoint. They aren’t cross stitch or knit. They are an art version of hooked rugs. Small, beautiful and done for hundreds of years by transplanted Arcadians. It may be gone now as their website is down. We found items made by people with the last name of my wife’s sixth great grandfather.

The easternmost needle art store in North America.
