Now, I couldn't tell a crochet hook from a shepherd's crook, but I know a quality museum when I see one. This fascinating little number is to be found in the desert town of Joshua Tree, California. It sits behind a very small and rather odd little residential and art complex called The Art Queen.
The museum is housed in a converted photo booth and it contains everything you could possibly want of a crocheted nature.
And more.
The photo booth remains unlocked and open to all at any time, which I think is both trusting and charming. Little note pads hang on the wall for grateful visitors to jot their thoughts. Some take it more seriously than others:
Flicking through the visitor comments I saw reference to the fact that amongst the doilies and the dollies, there was a crocheted taco. I ransacked the place until I found it. Bon appetit!

Would that the rest of the world would take a lesson from the crochet museum. And that there would be some iced coffee and biscuits next door.
Is that sign written in Scrabble (TM) letters?
You were in California! I hope you had a wonderful time.
