The Lady of Sea Mist Inn
Sometimes, the things you see in the shadows are more than just shadows. Naturally, the British Hubby has visited countless castles and family estates with old family paintings.

The person with the circular needle can run rings around them. ~ A Fist Full of Yarn (movie quote) On Wednesday, the Puget Sound LYS Tour started. Five days and 26 stores. I…Read more A Fist Full of Yarn
