Asheville

We went to Asheville on Saturday, took my camera and never took it out of my purse. Not thinking I guess!! The drive was beautiful, the Dogwoods and Cherry trees are spectacular, the wisteria will probably peak today. There's nothing prettier than seeing wispy dogwoods, pink and white, in the midst of trees that haven't leafed out yet. Today it's already raining and yesterday it was cloudy, so we picked a great day. We stopped at a yummy little cafe and had an amazing lunch, me salmon on greens, ken - shrimp on greens. Really good. Then we went to a quilt shop that I've been to before, not saying the name, but it's not nearly as fun as it was. New owners, new management, not sure, but no fat quarters, you could only get 1/2 yd increments and all the patterns were behind the counter. Didn't leave them one penny. Sorry. We walked through the Biltmore Village, except for J Crew, nothing else was exciting, well the yarn shop there is to dye fore (get it?) but I just don't knit, loved the amazing fibers though!! Then we hit downtown, hip and cool, lots of people out walking. We went to a dog shop that was having a birthday party, good thing we brought Bogie, it was his birthday too. 4 yrs old, my sweet boy!! He got some treats, a new collar and of course some birthday cake!! Shop was really cute and the busiest besides the ice cream shop!! What does that say about the economy! Now it's off to life and the real world. This month is wild, ending with Sassy Settings on the 28th!
