The owner is a real gem as well, and gave me a big goody bag of various threads for FREE! <br /><br />And if you ever decide to do a big Blue Ridge Parkway drive, Fancy Gap pottery (Fancy Gap, Virginia, by the Parkway) has a great shop with fabric and trims at good prices. I always stock up on their P&B solids, and can always find good quilting prints cheap, cheap, cheap. They don't have the 'latest' designs, mostly stuff that isn't manufactured anymore, but hey, it's all beautiful.tropicsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597040637176393229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-78290894314195649852013-10-24T09:28:36.544-04:002013-10-24T09:28:36.544-04:00Not to worry....if you dressed any different you m...Not to worry....if you dressed any different you might not get recognized!

She is one sprite lady and works every day (or at least she did 2 years ago).Whenever you show pics or talk about NC it warms my heart as I am very fond of your state. Florida is my home though and even though I do not like heat, I can appreciate it in the winter.I think it is time to become a snowbird.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692895941226666823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-13159329711719655092013-10-23T22:02:14.255-04:002013-10-23T22:02:14.255-04:00Honestly it was probably the shirt that got you re...Honestly it was probably the shirt that got you recognized!!!

When you come to Woodbridge in June there is an IKEA across the road from the hotel you stayed last time. Oh, Ott lights has a cute folding light that is extremely bright with a clip. I figured it would be good for plane travel.
