"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

sensory overload


posted 30 December 06 & filed under spinning

..must share! (excuse some of the excited blurriness.)

that’s the earth guild store in asheville, nc. amazing stuff. i got a couple of spin-offs, some flax (for my new distaff, yay), two basketry kits (double yay), a folkwear pattern (the russian dress), and a basketry book. ....oof, there’s no end to the things i want to learn.

(besides the craftsy stuff, there’s people too: my mom’s exclaiming about the hand-painted silk, my dad, in a blue sweater, is patiently waiting, and i’m trying to disguise my camera-shyness by touching some lovely linen samples.)

Oh man, I would have just died and gone to heaven. What a beautiful store!

Happy 2007, I have wanted to go to that store for a long time. There natural dyes are suppose to be amazing.

I am so jealous once again. :)
