Wow - what a day! I meant to have photos today, but I forgot the camera. I’ll have them tomorrow.

From all accounts, the classes were a hit and the students loved them.

The vendors - very luscious, yummy yarns and tools for sale. On the 20-30 minutes I was able to sneak away from the registration desk I found some beautiful yarn at Brooks Farm; the Great Yarn Company has the popular Flat Feet socks, plus the *gorgeous* Blue Heron metallic yarn; bonny beads has lovely shawl pins & stitch markers; the Shabby Sheep has hilarious t-shirts and neat project bags; I wanted to just pet and fondle the glowing silk roving at Spinning Straw into Gold’s booth; and the wood turned tools at the Knotwork booth were to-die-for. And that’s less than half our vendors! I need to explore more of them tomorrow.

Mary Kay and Michelle did a fabulous job with our Fashion Show this evening. We had two local designers (I’ll get their names tomorrow); an international one — Jenny King, also a featured teacher; a trunk show from the Woolie Ewe; and some retail designs from Anthropologie. Along with the eye candy, we had great door prizes from each of our vendors to give away. Finally, at the end we invited members of the audience to show off their own creations.

Our basket for Chemo Caps is nearly full! What a great response - thank you! Keep ‘em coming.

What a great day! I had a great time. Now I need to recharge for tomorrow.

Up tomorrow - photos of the event and our raffle prizes up for offer!
