Next…we had our first Yarn Tasting! Customers were able to samples some of our new Fall yarns, like Classic Elite’s Portland Tweed and Moorland, Alpaca With a Twist Temptation, Zaol Angora and more (all of which are available for sale from our website).
For our grand table setting Jeff was grateful enough to spread his first crochet-design on the table. It is exquisite and he promises a pattern soon!
Please note the beautiful orchid, just one of several that Kaycee loaned us for the day. Another way of making the day special. Funny, I didn’t notice it the day of, just too busy I guess however, the stole on the table is a perfect match to the orchid!
1 Year Anniversary Celebration! – 4
On Saturday September 27th The Local Needle had a grand celebration…cont’d.
Last of all, there was wine & cheese, chocolate and other goodies to nibble on. Several hung out and had lunch at Calendars (next door to The Local Needle) and others brought beautiful cards wishing us a happy birthday!
By 11:00 AM there was standing room only and even the local paper, The Baker County Press thought it newsworthy.
Looking back at the door at the end of the day…nothing but a smile remained. Fun and fellowship had filled the day. A personal thank you to each and everyone that made the day a great success!
