TAKE ME HOME!
WHAT I DID OVER THE WEEKEND!I attended the GARDEN STATE SHEEP BREEDER'S 11TH ANNUAL SHEEP AND FIBER FESTIVAL in Ringoes, New Jersey with my son, who loves all things animal. I have faithfully attended yearly since discovering it in 2001.
Despite the awful humidity on Saturday, I made a noble effort to touch and buy, hence adding to MY STASH.
YES! YES! YES! I KNOW! STITCHES IS ONLY A FEW SHORT DAYS AWAY!
HOWEVER, I JUSTIFY THESE PURCHASES AS DOING MY PART TO HELP SUPPORT THE FARMING AND FIBER COMMUNITY!
AND, I DID! I HAVE THE PICTURES TO PROVE IT, TOO!
LET THE YARN SHOPPING BEGIN!

VERY NICE FOLKS! WILL BE VISITING THEIR SHOP DEFINITELY!
MY NEW FRIEND FREIDA SPINS! SHE HAS AN ALPACA FARM IN HACKETTSTOWN, N.J.
