Yesterday marked my fabulous field trip to Web's. I went with fifteen other fiber-minded women, armed with a list of specific projects to shop for. And I came home with enough for that stuff, as well as some as a Christmas gift for somebody special and some more that I could not pass up. I didn't spend too much, unlike one person in the group who spent the equivalent of half my monthly mortgage payment on angora yarn. (Augh! Crazy??) I LOVE Web's! I could spend a week there. Or longer. There's a reason why I only make a pilgrimmage once a year.
The town that Web's is nestled in, Northampton, MA, is lovely. It's a college town, but with a big downtown center with lots to see and do. We had lunch at a place called Fitzwilly's that was pretty decent, and hit a local candy store. I wasn't going to go in because of the unnecessary temptation, but when I heard they had sugar-free chocolates I had to try it. I brought home some chocolates for myself, some coconut candies for hubby and gummy-letters for Will. The sugar-free stuff is pretty excellent. Don't get me wrong....it's not as good as regular chocolates but if it's what you can have then it's a pretty decent substitute. It was kind of late on Saturday when we were able to walk around and see the sights, so a lot of stuff was closing. Sometime I'd like to make a trip out there again with my family, on a sunny summer weekend.
All in all, the trip was a great success. And I have a whole bag of pretty new yarns that I can't wait to break out!

So jealous!!!! Scott was going to take me the weekend that Liv was born so needless to say I never made it. Northhampton is where the Yankee Candle outlet is too so that would be a two day trip for me!!!! LOL Glad you got to go and had fun.
I LOVE Northampton. I did my doula training there, never saw a prettier town.
Oh my. I can only imagine how divine it must have felt. If it's like me and a scrapbooking store, the clouds part, the sun shines, birds start chirping and the angels sing. :) Callie and Hailey say I remind them of themselves in Toys R Us.
I'm glad you scored some good stuff! But now the questions remains: where do you put it? I think Brian needs to build you a crafting shed... ;)
