    Nestled in a cozy cottage in Petit Etang, where the village of Cheticamp meanders into the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, you will find the shop "Proud to be Lola's Hookers". 

    ​

    As you step from the wrap-around porch into the shop, you'll be warmly greeted by the lady herself... Lola. At the heart of the shop, Lola is quick to greet you with a smile and is more than willing to explain the intricacies of this age-old local craft of rug hooking.

    ​

    A feast for the senses will surround you as you enter the shop with rugs large, small, and every size in between hung throughout.

    ​

    In a world of shifting values, it's truly wonderful to connect with a tradition so peaceful and serene, and yet productive.

    ​

    Each rug in the shop is handmade by local artisans. When purchasing a rug, the name of each artist is included. With so many of our artisans aging into their 70's, 80's, and 90's, our mission is to help to re-establish our craft so that future generations will be able to enjoy the simple pleasures of rug hooking.
