Hand-Woven Table Runner by Frederick, South Dakota-based Annikki Marttila, a.k.a. Finnish Weaver on Etsy. It’s on sale for $38.
I love table runners because they look nice during mealtime and non-mealtime alike. They can be complemented by placemats, but that’s optional. I love the colors in this runner; bright but neutral.
My aunt Peggy also lives in South Dakota, near the border with Wyoming, and is a talented weaver. She gave me a beautiful grey rug on one condition: that I would use it. She didn’t want me to keep it on a shelf to “preserve” it. Its tag reads: “By Peggy and Her Sheep.”
