I went to OFFF on Sunday and met up with Linda, and we started shopping around without any delay. It was a lovely, sunny and warm day, and there was something like 50 vendors set up on the grassy area, besides all the booths in 2 buildings. was almost overload on the senses... but we managed to keep our senses. At noon we met up with 2 Janes, and kept on shopping! Had a wonderful lamb kabob for lunch right there at the fairgrounds, even tho we'd planned to go into Canby for lunch. And we kept on shopping. Saw quite a few friends and twisted sisters, visited with and got hugs from lots of vendor friends... and Linda and I kept enjoying being able to spend the day having fun and NOT having to work in a booth!! Bravo!! and we kept on shopping! Now, one would think that with all that shopping we'd be loaded down with fibers... however, we didn't do a lot of buying. Here's what i bought:
the blue/green on the left is pygora from Peppermint Pastures (Darlene Chambers), as is the bag of white fiber on the right. I really love her packaging.. and her fibers! and in the middle is an irresistable bundle of merino/tussah from Dicentra,
Lisa Milliman. and i didn't even try to resist! unfortunately, my camera doesn't do well with accuracy in bright colors. (or the camera operator doesn't quite know what she's doing) what looks like purpley/pink is really a bright fuschia pink, which i totally love! i think i'll start spinning it tonight while watching Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and then Boston Legal. the choices on the tube have gotten so crappy that those are the only shows that i go out of my way to watch.
You can find Lisa's lovely fibers at Crown Mountain Farms (and at fiber shows)
