GETTING OUT OF TOWN

Despite a rainy start to the day

Susan and I decided to

take a day trip to

Asheville,NC.

 

 

 

 

It was a good decision to go,

 the closer we got to Asheville

the more blue sky we saw.

The Earth Guild was our first stop

where I was able to pick up

some additional needle felting

supplies for my newest

obsession.

 

 

 

 



We explored a bit downtown

then decided to have lunch at

Tupelo Honey Cafe.

Tupelo Honey is scheduled

to open a new restaurant in Johnson City

and we were keen to give it a try.


 

 

Well,

we knew it was another

 great decision

when they brought the

huge complementary biscuits with

homemade blueberry

preserves

to the table.

 

 

 

 

Many of the patrons were enjoying the

Creamy Tomato Soup

(which I really want to try)

but I settled on a breakfast dish

and Susan had a

vegetarian sandwich.

She said it was one of the best sandwiches

she'd ever eaten.

 

 

 

 

With our tummies full,

we headed down the road to

The Tobacco Barn

Antiques.

 

 

 

 

We discovered The Barn last Fall and

dearly loved it...but you know,

nothing is as special as the

first time.

 

 

 

 

We looked at all their treasures.

 

 

 

 

 And they've got a lot!!!

 

 

 

 

But we didn't come home with

very much.

 

 

 

One thing that fascinated me.

These colorful spindles.

They had tons of them,

Twelve for six dollars or

one dollar each.

 

 

 

 

I racked my brain,

but inspiration just didn't come.

 

 

 

One thing is for sure,

if I get an inspiration down the road,

I can go back and get them.

They're not going to sell out of their supply

any time soon.

 

Have a great day!
