Interesting article! Thanks.
I recall reading about Barbara Bush's needlepoint rug when they were living in the White house. I recall that she said she added in a bunny as a funny reference to Jimmy Carter's Playboy interview. I did a quick google search but I couldn't find anything about it.
Thanks so much; love this article. Does anyone remember her White House tree, with the needlepoint ornaments?
