A Quiet Winter's Trip~

Way up in the Cascade Mountains in Washington sits a sweet little Bavarian style town called Leavenworth. My husband and I spent 4 days in quiet relaxing time.

What's that you ask? Yarn shops?~Oh yes. Leavenworth it self has a small one. Good yarns and a few beads. The cashier only looked up once as I purchased my hand-dyed Araucania,Ranco solid,olive shades wool, to agree I bought a beautiful yarn. So if looking for hositality don't shop there.
Cashmere Washington about 15 minutes away on the other hand has Cashmere Cottage! I was happily welcomed, and spent my time looking and chatting to Judith, the shop owner, while others came for her help, her grandaughter who didn't have preschool that day knitted and I think was wondering were's lunch? I purchased 2 hanks of Paca-Paints, #403 Mesa color,alpaca. Like I need more alpaca! She continued her kindness with a 10% discount!!! Highly recommend shopping/stopping by if you ever get a chance.

My husband popped in the local sportsmen store to find out what the fish where biting on. He fished a little, I knitted.

We'd watch Jane Austen movies along with whatever night time 'cop shows' were televised. Brought our favorite foods and enjoyed each others company. It was refreshing.
