The Woolery has been on our radar for a number of years. We got the Ashford Traditional Spinning Wheel from them by mail order in late 1999. Since then we’ve gotten spinning and weaving supplies from them either by mail order or at their booth at SAFF in Asheville. Today we parked the T@B at a campsite at Kentucky Horse Park, stopped by to pick up Phil in Lexington, then headed to downtown Frankfort to visit The Woolery live anyin person! The plan was to learn all we could about rigid heddle looms. Now Karen is the proud owner of a 16″ Kromski Harp with stand, a second heddle kit, and two extra heddles. It’s a folding loom that can travel with us when we hit the road.
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
