Meeting Other Bloggers

It's really fun to get to know other knitting bloggers online and I thought it was interesting that sometimes bloggers arranged to meet in person. Well, I had the pleasure of meeting another knitting blogger in August! She Knits By the Seashore lives fairly close by, so we arranged a day to get together. We met up at an ice cream shop, went to Sakonnet Purls to admire yarn, then went on a bike ride along with our husbands followed by dinner out! It was really a wonderful day and we are already planning another visit.

As it was my birthday in August, Debby brought me a very pretty package! I have been slow to post pictures of everything, but only because I have been enjoying the gifts so much. The items got separated around my house as I read/used them and only now have I rounded them up to take pictures!

A card and journal and the beautiful ribbon that decorated the package:

A vintage gardening book:

The first issue of Yarn Magazine from Australia:

There were also poppy seeds for my garden!
Thank you for the gifts, Debby!
