Getting Stitched on the Farm...

On Saturday, the Hubs and I headed off into the wilds of western Mass for an Open Farm Day at Kristin Nicholas' farm....

I had been there a couple summers ago for a workshop....it was a lovely drive up...and after buying a few things...we poked around for a bit...

I love her house....it is full of color and fun little spaces!

This is Petunia, who posed rather prettily....

Then we walked around outside for a bit....

The Dog Whisperer was out....

I bought a bowl from Kristin, our new candy bowl (and later on we needed it)..and a scarf and jade earrings from Deborah Garner...she was set up on the porch...

So my goodies...

Oh, we also came home with some lamb, for lamb stew...yum.....

Then we decided to take the back roads down to Northhampton, instead of getting on 91....I was looking for someplace to eat...and we ran across this place....

Let's just say, we DID NOT leave empty handed.....wowza!!!!

And continuing down the road, we ran into this place...

Small shop. but stuffed to the gills, really nice owner.....I bought a few things...That ornament is a fair trade sheep from Nepal... I love! The buttons are shells...so pretty...

We then stopped at WEBS before heading to lunch at Veracruz....

and topped the day off with dessert before we headed home...

all in all...a very good day!
