Hello All! Yesterday we drove from Louisiana to Florida, where we will stay for the weekend. I can't believe how much I missed The Husband and I'm looking forward to three days of the pool and the beach and some local shopping. On the way here, I stopped at two cross stitch shops.
The first one was Acadian Corner in Metairie, LA. The shop is wonderful and sweet with a lot of models and different fibers.
As my in-laws live in Metairie, I go to this shop every time we go visit. They carry a lot of Mirabilia charts (my fav!) and there are a lot of models of different Miras on the wall. I ended up buying an eighth of 32 opal Belfast, three packs of beads, and two cards of Wisper in lavender.
I'm so excited about the lavender Wisper because I was looking for just the right color Wisper for my Enchanted Mermaid purple conversion. I even bought two just to make sure I had enough!
The second shop I visited was Threadneedle Street in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The owner was super sweet and she carried a lot of Miras as well.
The owner told me she had the new Mira Santa as a WIP and she had a lot of models on the wall. I especially love this pillow she made from Under the Friendship Tree.
I ended up only buying two patterns. I could have spent my whole budget though! I bought Queen Mermaid and Touching the Autumn Sky.
I don't think there are any cross stitch shops near the beach we are staying at but I'm going to look!
TTFN!
