Skagit County Tulip festival is definitely something to see. The colours of the tulips are so bright and clear and completely gorgeous; even if the sky above is grey and stormy.
On the way to the tulip fields, a quick diversionary trip to La Conner was required. And what did I find...? The most fabulous yarn and craft store, filled from floor to ceiling with yarns, tapestries and patterns. Totally delicious! Jennings Yarn and Needlecrafts at 106 South First is definitely worth a visit; wouldn't say the lady in the store was particularly wonderful, bu the array of goodies definitely made up for her quietness. Maybe she was just having a bad day.
I was almost tempted to buy the hand crafted knitting needles, but at $28 a pair, I thought it best to add them to my Christmas list... Chuck, are you listening??? However, I did find my circular bamboo needles (worth every cent of the $8.50 they cost me,) plus, I found some rather fantastic buttons to adorn a few more pairs of baby shoes. Cuter than cute, me thinks.
