This episode is sponsored by my Longaberger Home Business and Quince & Co.
Quince & Co has introduced 8 new colors into their American
sourced wool line. Chickadee, a springy
sport weight, is the first base for the new colors. Poppy, Slate, Wasabi, Came, Malbec, Sedum,
Fjord, and Belize. The colors will be
phased into Quince’s other wool yarns: Finch, Lark, Osprey, and Puffin. Find Chickadee and the other Quince fibers at
www.quinceandco.com.

Paula, I'm a handcrafted soap vendor at our local Farmer's Market and today they had a bagpiper walking up and down the aisles playing. It was very festive and I loved it. Since I listened to your latest podcast the evening prior, I was paying close attention to his dress when he walked past my tent. Thanks for a interesting podcast...learned a few things and now have a new appreciation. Thanks! Rebecca
