I always visit this stop on the Wool Arts Tour first to pick up buttons for my knitting and sewing projects, and for gift giving. They are so beautiful I simply display them on my fireplace mantle until I use them.

I had to share a few last Wool Arts tour photographs.  I really wanted to share my favorite buttons, my first stop every tour.  As winter creeps in, it’s good to see a stock of yarn ready for knitting over the cold long winter!  Click for a bigger photograph.  I especially love the sheep that take great delight in taunting me whenever I try to take a photograph of them.  I have more photographs of sheep butts, but here are a few where you get to see a face.

I don’t spin, but it’s tempting….

how many sheep in the photograph?

Natalie and this ram are friends. Each wool arts tour they meet up again.

The sheep are not impressed by the visitors.

WOOL!

Typical New England doorway
