Come join us April 9th, 10-5:00, to celebrate the Grand Opening of Prairie Spinners, a fiber arts gallery in Mary Rose. We'll have spinning demonstrations, wine-tasting by Penoach Winery, cake ball samples by Bites of Cake (Esther and April from Dallas Center), cookie/cake samples by Auntie B Creations (Bethany Wicks from Perry).
I'm excited to have the Prairie Spinners in the shop. They have filled the front room in the lower level with their hand-spun/hand-dyed yarn; woven rugs, towels, scarves, pillows, shawls; handmade soaps; and much more. It has been a joy to get to know these creative artists who live in the area. I'm learning so much. I look at a crocheted hat and am amazed by the steps involved in its creation--raising the sheep, shearing them, carding the fleece, making roving, spinning the yarn, and then crocheting.
This is a perfect chance to meet the artists who will join us on April 9th for the open house and demonstrate spinning. Before we all become busy in our gardens, find that perfect yarn to create a handmade gift for a loved one.
We are also celebrating spring April 9th with the rest of the shop full to the brim with Easter baskets and handpainted eggs, new April Cornell linens, new Polish pottery, a new stationery line (Michel Designs), vintage finds, stained glass, Scandinavian gifts, and work by many local artists.
