    Holiday knitting

    What a delightful store with friendly, happy staff. My beau and I went in to check it out and purchase yarn. As I do not live in SW PDX, this was a new store for me to poke around in. What a knitter's dream store. So much color therapy for me on a gray winter's day. We purchased 3 skeins: Malabrigo Rios- ceilo y tierra(2) and Debbie Bliss Rialto Luxury Sock - 9 Benicassim(1). The staff inquired of my intended projects (Honey cowl & magic loop toe up socks) and turned us on to their frequent shopper stamp card. We had the 2 ball of Rios wound on the Swift immediately. We learned that NW Wools is the oldest yarn shop (30yrs) in Portland. As well as found out about the 2019 Yarn Crawl! I will be back.

    What an adorable craft boutique! Stumbled upon this gem as I was checking out downtown Milwaukee…read moreafter an appointment. The shop is a blend of vintage and Parisian inspired decor with glass armoires and baker's racks filled with treasures. Upscale craft, party, and card making supplies are in abundance. This is not Michaels crafts; these items have been thoughtfully selected and curated to create the charming ambiance of the store and the items that can be created. I wandered in a few weeks before Valentine's Day so hearts, Cupids and vintage Valentine's Day card supplies were plentiful. The owner, Kelli, offers classes which are held in the back of the shop where there is a huge rectangular table that can comfortably sit 15 or so eager crafters. I found the shop and environment to be very inspiring. I've been an active crafter since I was a pre-teen so this shop really spoke to me! I'll definitely be signing up for classes; a great way to make something unique without having to buy packets of the individual components. Plus the opportunity to meet others with similar interests. You can even organize a class for a group of your friends around a theme - bridal shower, special birthday, reunion, whatever! Kelli and I chatted for awhile; she gave me a history of her shop and her sister Kim's Chocolate Shop, Enchante, next door (see my review.) It's obvious that attention to detail, designing beautiful spaces and experiences, and a love for all things Parisian is a family trait!

    For those who have not stopped by Kelli's new location you should. Also check out her website…read more Www.kmarielovesglitter.org. You will be impressed with the classes/trainings as well as enjoy the atmosphere at Milwaukee floral. Don't hesitate and sign up as soon as you can.
