Strolling down State Street, doing some window shopping. Found this gem of a card store. Love shops…read morethat have a wide selection of greeting cards and other gift items. The staff were friendly and helpful, and able to point me in the right direction. Found a bunch of hilarious (somewhat sarcastic) cards that almost had me rolling on the floor. Thought I was ready to be checked out, and then found a few more fun items at the register. I had to will myself to leave the store before I found more items (and spent more money). A great place for cards and other thoughtful gifts.

Blue Bar Quilts has a somewhat different selection than other quilt shops. They have a nice, and…read morereasonably priced offering of wool felt, some sashiko threads, and unique mending books. The select of bag-making supplies and patterns is small but unique. There wasn't much in the way traditional fabric and nothing at all faith-based (except for Halloween-type). The classroom looked open and had a large class going. The shop was very crowded, with bolts and displays very close together. It made it a little challenging to shop. The central cutting table made it difficult for staff to greet shoppers. One clerk did ask me if I was finding what I needed when she was out from the counter. I was visiting WI from a different state, and I wouldn't make a return trip to Blue Bar next time, but I can see how someone local might shop there.

This place is HUGE. If you need fiber, this the spot. Heck, if you need merino, leicester, silk,…read morehemp, WHATEVER, she's probably got it. There are silk noil dresses to dye, there are antique knitting machines, there are tamari supplies, dread beads, bead crochet supplies, and all the spinning paraphernalia you could possibly dream up. I went in to get some supplies for felting--they have an entire WALL of wool in HUNDREDS of colors, from $2-$4/oz. I picked up three colors of merino to make some dreads to match my new hair (compliments of Aveda, Vici on the Library Mall--fabulous!). I don't know how long I was at this place, but I definitely fell down the rabbit hole. I even snagged some beautiful one-of-a-kind stone, bone, and silver beads, PLUS some lovely hand-dyed merino that was VERY reasonably priced in gorgeous tones of orange and yellow.. John, who was on staff today, was SO MUCH FUN to talk to.. I can't believe I've been living THIS CLOSE to a fiber shop of this caliber, and hadn't found my way in until today. Kicking myself for not finding it sooner. If you're into weaving, spinning, knitting, crochet, ANY of the Japanese fiber arts, beading, costuming, or small leathergoods-making, put this place on your list of must-sees. Driving out there, I assumed that it would be tiny and not have much of a selection--I was WRONG. This place is a hidden gem. DO check it out. And give yourself time to chat--the staff AND customers were a blast to get to know. So much knowledge and talent in one little place. I absolutely cannot WAIT to go back! :)
