Happy Day

Well, I've had a wonderful spring day. Kendall, Will, and I went to Glacier Ridge Metro Park for some walking and playtime (and I didn't think I had my camera, so no pictures). It was a nice time; if you are in the area, it has a nice playground and a short trial which I'm sure will be much more impressive in the summer.

Then, to bribe the boy to leave, we went to Jeni's for some Splendid ice cream. Today, I had the Gooey Butter Cake (with these huge chunks of almost caramelized brown sugar - amazing!). Kendall tried the Brown Butter Almond Brittle. I am hard pressed to select a favorite, because everything there is so incredible!

They did this cute bunting made of brown paper bags in the window. The other side said "Bake Shop" in stenciled letters. A creative, economical way to dress up a window for a party, perhaps.

A few steps from Jeni's is my LYS, Temptations. It wasn't opened, but we wandered around and found a cozy little outside nook that was so photo-worthy, I had to take a few snaps.

The porch is decorated with huge mill ends of yarn - yes, they were tempting, but a little dirty!

Just to the right of this . . .

Is this pretty old door

Turn around and you'll see this fantastic bench . . .

by this ivy covered tree

Around a corner, and you are by the entrance and this well-loved bench

And this was waiting on the steps. A little piece of nature.

Hope your day was lovely!

I'd like to introduce you to a new friend of mine. Lisa Krack is the soon-to-be purveyor of locally crafted fiber arts, supplies, and notions at her storefront, Darn Yarn Needles and Thread in Butler, PA. In addition to Handspun yarns by EnchantedYarn, e-reader wraps, hats & crocheted miscellany by Allkrackedup, Tapestries by HotShades Tapestries, Tri-Looms by Jim @ Sunflower Fibers, and Buttons and Shawl Pins by Handmade in the Hills, she'll be stocking recycled yarns from my company, Howard Knits! I'm excited for her, and excited to have my yarn in a store! She is slated to open on St. Patrick's day, so if you are in or around Butler, PA, make sure to check out her shop!
