Oh.My.God! What a wonderful weekend!
We flew out Friday morning and thankfully the snow Thursday night, while it did nothing to help me with my class, also didn’t hurt our trip. We got in around 11:30 or so and checked into our beautiful junior suite – replete with a lovely tea service waiting for us! After a quick snack, I called Colleen and we arranged to meet for lunch. Colleen didn’t have a lot of time, since she was heading down to New York to take in the last of The Gates, but we had a great lunch anyway at the Parish Cafe. I had the Veal Pastrami sandwich and it was very, very good. While we were getting to know each other, Colleen filled me on all the good yarn stores to hit – and hit them I did. Thanks Colleen for showing me a good time!
After lunch I went back to the hotel and took a brief nap in preparation for Wendy and our super yarn crawl.
Wendy was so sweet and brought me a gift, thinking I’d been having some bad days lately. It was a yellow laughing bag! Seriously, there’s no defense for this thing. (Unfortunately, I asked Wendy to hold it for me, and I forgot to ask for it back. So I went home without it – but Wendy, know it was very appreciated. I smile every time I think about it!)
Our first stop was Windsor Buttons, then A Good Yarn, finally Circles and then off to dinner.
Here is my haul for the weekend:
Really, there’s no yarn left in Boston!
I’m going to go through shop by shop, but I figured I’d spare you the details if you don’t want them. So if you want every sordid minute of my fabu trip – keep reading! {Warning – it’s a freaking novel!}
