I wish I had known about this in Cork, when I went wasted my time working long hours. To bad, I still don't work for Apple anymore or I would have to figure out why I needed to go back for work. <BR/><BR/>I now just need to go for a vacation. Totally jealous and want to go to the mill. I may live in America but I live 2 hours from the LYS and a Michaels. I have a Walmart but it doesn't have a great selection of yarn.gwtreecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15210276433405050299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30877720.post-1158611502817220342006-09-18T21:31:00.000+01:002006-09-18T21:31:00.000+01:00Angeluna, Angeluna, you are a divine intervention ...Angeluna, Angeluna, you are a divine intervention to show me those results from the Tennessee State Fair.

Well, I've known that for quite some time actually, but this is it. The trees, the moss, the still beauty…<BR/><BR/>You got it all wrong: I envy *you*. Who cares about Michael's and JoAnne? You can't compare the joy of discovering something unique. Besides, I've never found any yarn I liked at those big chains. It's really wonderful that you found the little yarn haven in the woods.

My heart *was* pounding, I tell you. What a sweet man, Mr. John Cahill, and so easy on the eye. The weaving looms are beautiful and I agree, it's wonderful that they're 'alive', and happily working. And the cone that he was holding (while you were talking to the lady from Texas) what lovely colours, do you know what that one was? I don't know, if I had to choose between what I have in town (which is really not that much) and having that gem in 'my back yard'? I would so go for what you have. There's always the internet for the 'other' stuff, although you don't get to touch it, that's the downside, and Jo, you're a lovely woman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30877720.post-1158403998337064212006-09-16T11:53:00.000+01:002006-09-16T11:53:00.000+01:00Delicious ..no other word !
