For those of you (like me) who love color, fabrics and yarns, Fiber Fest is coming up soon.  Oct 5th and 6th at the Old Art Building in Leland.    Artists with original fiber art will exhibit and sell their work in mediums of paper, wearable art (clothing), weaving, quilts, knits, fiber sculpture and basketry.  Admission is free and open to the public.  There will be a week of workshops beginning Oct 1 and a demonstration of natural dyes on the 6th.  For more info check out www.oldartbuilding.com 

Just received the Pine Cone Hill sleepwear at the store.  These are really nice flannel or cotton pj's in great prints and colors and the most incredibly soft robes I have ever touched.  They are really comfy!  Of course, I had to try some out for myself…they can be found on our sportswear page.
