K&N Open House Day 1

Well its Sunday, the clocks are all changed, Dan is cooking us breakfast so all must be right with the world.

The Knowledge and Needles open house on Saturday (still going on today!) was definitely a huge success! I'd have to say things were busy to very steady from 10am to 2pm! There were lots of familiar faces in the crowd and some new ones as well (which is always nice). Here are a few of my shots from the day.

This is my favourite stitcher in the world! Adrianna who turns 93 this summer, and she is a fantastic stitcher and still works on evenweave at her age! Also she won Saturday's door prize!



One customer brought in their daughter, the cutest little girl who was just in love with the dogs.


We got to see deer bounding through the field across the street.


And of course there was shopping afoot!

  1. I can't wait to come see all the new stuff Ann has gotten...only 13 more sleeps! And great photo of Christin - I know how she loves to get her picture taken - NOT!
    Say "Hi" to everyone from me - missing you all and wish I was there to join in the fun.

  4. Hi Dani,

    Oh to be in Brighton Ontario when
    Ann is having such a wonderful
    and fun event at her store. I
    have got to talk to my DH about
    packing up and moving to south
    Eastern Ontario, where all the
    fun is!

    Loved seeing the photos of the
    various visitors on the first
    day of the open house. Adrianna
    has her serious shoppers face on
    and was probably totally unaware
    of the camera zeroing in on her.

    The dogs are adorable, the
    store looks like paradise and
    the thought of spending an
    evening in a hot tub during
    such a miserable time of year
    is a wistful one. Oh, and
    the deer in the field are too
    cool.

    Congrats on further weight loss.
    Hope things continue smoothly
    for you in that regard.

    Cheers!
