I fell down....but I landed on yarn :)

With the snap of fall in the air (read: it's below 100 degrees here) I've been feeling the urge to go play with yarn. I kept reading about This Fiber Festival and That Fiber Festival, (really it started when I read about Pitch 'n' Stitch and was all bent out of shape because I had missed the local date) and to soothe my yearning for yarn I was doing some absent minded searching through the Internet at the different fiber festivals. My husband leans over my shoulder and says to me, "You should go to one of those things, you'd love it" (THAT would be #154). So, I looked a little harder and found THE perfect one to go to. Not only was it going on the next day but it was right down the road from my family so.....my giddy up and go, got up and went :) Serendipity was all smiles that day... I found a last minute flight and was the last stand-by passenger on the plane---I mean it was so close that the gal that worked the counter had me wait at the top of the jet way and just signaled me to run for the plane like a referee with a starter pistol, so when she fired--I ran! My Grandmother met me at the airport, we drove on and picked up my Aunt and her puppy, drove on to pick up my Mom (and potty and change clothes) and drove up in plenty of time to thoroughly enjoy a wonderful fiber festival!!!!! There were tents of yarn everywhere... And some friendly fiber contributors...

Llamas...
Alpacas...
Angora rabbits... Goats... And yummy, yummy yarn...

I fell down hard, I'm not sorry and I'd do it again :) Sadly, I didn't prepare very well and ended up having to shake down Gigi to get some extra cash (I've heard of cash...but I thought everyone took credit cards... I guess too much city livin' rots your brain).
And now for the moment you've all been waiting for...the stash enhancement :)




I am now officially on a yarn diet...of course, a little sock yarn never hurt anyone ;)
