Our first stop was in Henniker, NH where we just had to check out "The Fiber Studio". All I can say about that place is: WOW!!! They have everything for spinning, dying, knitting, weaving, beading, and whatever else one can do with fiber.
They really have everything! I even found the perfect silk thread and beads to re-create that necklace I bought the other day. I do have the tiny little crochet hook I need for the crocheted flowers with me (a girl has to be prepared for all eventualities, right?).
Poor Jan, all this shopping is wearing her out. C'mon, Jan, you can do it!
After our lovely experience at The Fiber Studio, we went back on the road, and went to Vermont. We arrived in Woodstock shortly after 3 pm and checked into the hotel.
Across from the motel is the perfect house for Beverly. It's called the "Village Inn" and maybe Beverly could stay there some day?
Here is "The Shire Riverview Motel", our home for the next couple of days. See the car on the right? That's Jan's car. It is full of stuff we bought and I am considering to send a couple of packages home so it isn't all that full (and so that there is more room in the car for stuff we might still buy).
After we checked in, I went exploring. There is a Antique Books Store next to the motel and that was my first stop. For some reason I was full of energy and needed to walk it off. Jan was tired and stayed in the room while I walked to the downtown area, checked out the stores (yes, there was a yarn store and yes, I went in), and then brought back sandwiches for dinner. We ate in the room and stayed there until Jan's stepdaughter came to pick her up. They went off to watch one of the grandkids play while I stayed in the motel to figure out that crocheted necklace. I made one flower already, but it needs some tweaking. I'll figure it out eventually.
