So Saturday Claire, Judie, Phil and I headed down to Dickson to the Tennessee Fiber Festival. We planned on doing some shopping and then going to plant world and then finally lunch at boobies. Home of the famous boobie burger. We went there last year and everyone loved it. So first up was the fiber fair.
Animals were seen like this cashmere goat:
Fiber and yarn were fondled and bought from Fiber Denn:
Friends were met but I forgot to snap photos.
Overall it was WAY better than last year. Easily twice the size. I think the organizers deserve a great big round of virtual applause for putting that much effort and work into it. My favorite vendors this year were Fiber Denn (as usual) and Little Barn (SUPER FREAKING CHEAP). Plus it’s always nice to see folks I don’t get to see too often since I am just lazy enough to consider Nashvegas a wee bit too far to go to knitting groups there.
So we were there about 3 hours I’d say and then off to plant world we went. I know this isn’t a gardening blog but oh my god did they have gorgeous plants and lots of them! We have nothing like that here. It was almost like being at a botanical garden. I took so many pics. However I’ll only bore you with my two favorites.
Lunch was had and then we took off for home. Next post the Fiber HAUL.
Rats! i had no idea about this Fiber fest in Dickson! next year though… i’d love to see it all myself.
Look at the widdle goat! Makes me want to go to a fiber festival. (The gorgeous yarn pictures help, too.) Your haul is probably up now, I’ll go drool over the pictures and live vicariously through you.
