Ever Heard of Hair-Weaving?






This is an old method for remembering loved ones who have died.  Folks coming to America were usually "on the move," and might never make it back to the grave of a parent or child or close family member.  And so they would take a lock of hair from the loved one, weave it into these beautiful patterns, and frame them to hang on the wall.  Good memories are critical to our health!
