My knitterly pal Paula and I went to Almonte, Ontario for Fiber Fest 23. It was great to see so much yarn, fleece, fabric and notions. I bought three beautiful skeins of gorgeoness to knit cowls.
This part sure was a highlight though.
This is the lovely Noreen Young and her famous friends. Her wonderful puppets were major players in Canadian children's programs for years. That is Little Gloria sitting on my shoulder. I loved it! Seeing the reaction of some of the younger adults around us was priceless. One young mother in particular got all teary and breathless. Noreen and Gloria engaged her young child while the mum got herself back together.
It was a lovely day. The sun was shining and there was a nice breeze.
I would love this event. It is so my thing!
ReplyDeleteSo much to see and lovely yarn to fondle!
DeleteLooks like you had an Enjoyable day visiting with Noreen. Cute Puppets.
ReplyDeleteStay Safe.
It's about time.
Noreen was in a Celtic music group back in the day, maybe 10-15 years ago. She might still be, but I have lost touch.
ReplyDeleteShe is a nice lady.
DeleteWe were happy to see the construction is done downtown. That was along time coming.
