During the Great Northern Yarn Haul, Love.Yarn.Shop., like many of the shops, held a drawing for a grand prize. Anyone who participated in the Haul and visited the shop entered the drawing. The winner is…Nancy Lyndes! She won a gift card for $25, a skein of Good Karma Farm alpaca/wool yarn, 2 skeins of Swans Island Rambouillet, 3 skeins of a bulky hand-painted merino from Ella Rae, and a skein of superwash extra fine merino from Ella Rae. Congratulations, Nancy! Participants who visited 20 or more shops will submit their “passports” by July 31st for the grand drawing worth over $500! We can’t wait to see who wins that!
That’s the phrase that comes to mind when I am unpacking new color ways from Round Mountain Fibers: Luna Moth, Hubbard’s Caterpillar, Robin’s Nest, Mandarin Duck and Bufflehead. The dyer, Monica MacNeille, captures the colors of the birds and butterflies beautifully. There are many fine dyers, but Monica has an incomparable eye. Come see her yarns first hand.
Who would have thought that in one short Main Street, so much could be happening for kids and families? Wednesdays the Patchwork Players perform at 11:00 at the Colonial; on Tuesday mornings, free golf lessons are given to children at the Bethlehem Country Club from 9:30-12:00 and on Friday mornings at 8:30 for more advanced players. The public library has a summer reading program on Tuesdays at 11:00. On Sundays, the whole family can enjoy concerts at the Gazebo from 6-8 with hot dogs and hamburgers available. The playground, basketball courts, tennis courts, and skate park are all right off the Main Street. Of course, ice cream, donuts, and iced coffees beckon families for a little respite from the sun and fun. Saturday mornings the Farmer’s Market offers fresh vegetables, craft beer, and other locally crafted products. Put on your calendars August 12th for Old Home Day and Art Walk, when the town will be busting out with activities! I’m so glad to have my shop in this little town!
